Madam Speaker, protests financed and backed by wealthy far-right Americans forced thousands of Canadians out of work this week, as border crossings are shut down and supply chains are completely blocked. Communities are asking for federal leadership, and the Prime Minister seems caught frozen in place, like a deer in the headlights. Even our neighbours note the absence of leadership. The Washington Post reports this morning that the Biden administration wants the Prime Minister to “use federal powers to resolve this situation”.
Why is the Prime Minister so incapable of managing this crisis? Why is he passing the buck to everyone else?
