It is interesting and sad, to listen to “Blame Everyone Else Bill Blair”, Minister of Emergency Preparedness, suggesting to the Liberal/CBC spokesperson, Rosemary Barton, that “we need the police to do their jobs” and charged the lack of enforcement in Ottawa was “inexplicable”.
These statements coming from a man who was no roaring success when he served as police chief in Toronto, and is now hiding behind an unexplained title created by the prime minister. Where were Blair and Trudeau at the height of the protest? They were sighted by no one, but refused to provide additional resources to the police or have a brief meeting with the protesters which may have quelled the uprising. Initially, Trudeau just had to play the “tough guy” role.
