The national capital of a G7 country is locked down, even besieged by a small group of extremists demanding the government’s surrender on the public health front.
What does the head of government do? Almost nothing. Almost apologizing for being there, the Prime Minister stammered to the demonstrators invitations to moderation, and to the Ottawa police, encouragement to do their best, all accompanied by promises of help to the same police if ever she felt the need to ask for it.
The national government of a G7 country is violently put on notice, but its leader rules out from the outset a possible recourse to the armed forces and leaves it to a municipal police force to manage a national crisis.
He does not feel the need to set up a crisis cell made up of the RCMP, the Ottawa police and Parliament Security and, of course, the national head of Public Security […].
In view of all this procrastination, all these procrastination and other hesitations, the only feeling that I felt rising in me was shame.
