The gong-show autopsy of the Freedom Convoy, playing out now as an inquest into the invoking of the Emergencies Act, shows more of why the protest lived rather than why it eventually died out.
Incompetence would not be too strong a word. Over-reaction could also be worked in, driven by paranoia and self-serving politics.
Let’s be blunt. The Freedom Convoy interrupted a relatively small pocket of Ottawa near Parliament Hill while the rest of the country was largely sleeping well. Yet it was given the profile of a massive and potentially dangerous civil disobedience exercise that had gone irretrievably off the rails.
