I agree with many of the critics that our set of existing laws could already have dealt with the convoy. At the same time, it was also evident to me that the Convoy became a political hot potato that a lot of people in leadership positions -- be it the Ottawa mayor, the OPS chief, Doug Ford, the federal gov, etc. -- did not want to touch and be responsible for.

imo blaming Trudeau is just a distraction. The fact that all these people allowed it to get to the point where Trudeau could call in the Emergency Act should be a far larger concern than Trudeau doing it. Multiple people had to fail in multiple ways for it to even get to that point and they should take the majority of the blame here.
