      It looks different when you’re this far away from people pouring the gasoline into your letter slots.

        Again though, that’s something the police should of been dealing with. The issue is they didn’t want to because probably half of them believed in the convoy. We wouldn’t of needed the act if we had forced them to enforce the rules.

      Tell that to Doug Ford, the OPP, the Ottawa police who should have done something for 3 weeks. They did nothing and Trudeau had to use federal powers to deal with a provincial and Municipal problem.
