Rex Murphy: Trudeau, by this time accustomed to ruling by fiat, denounced the convoy protesters even before they arrived. And not once did he offer an opportunity for a meeting, or delegate ministers to have a discussion. The PM in fact treated them more like invaders than a representative group of Canadian citizens with relevant and pressing concerns.
Which brings me right to the point of the Emergencies Act.
What efforts, what actions, did the government take before proceeding to that draconian, unprecedented measure? None. None at all.
Did they meet? No. Did they negotiate? No. Did they send mediators? No. Did they call Parliament in to debate the protest? No.
They did nothing. Outside of berating the protest in the most vivid terms, they did absolutely nothing!
