On Day 11 of the Truckers for Freedom Convoy, Erin O’Toole was ousted as Conservative leader, Candice Bergen assumed interim leadership and the Ottawa Police considered calling in the military on peaceful, unarmed protestors.
It was a huge day for the trucker convoy as the protest bagged its first major win – the turfing of opposition leader Erin O’Toole. News of a caucus revolt first surfaced Tuesday night, suggesting enough Conservative MPs had signed a letter to hold a vote on Erin O’Toole.
A party stalwart, Bergen had defended Canada’s truckers in Question Period on Monday in a fiery exchange with Liberal government house leader Mark Holland. Bergen reminded the Liberals that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau had worn blackface “more times than he could remember” and that the Liberals had been silent when statues were being beheaded and churches being burned down across the country.
