Police fear American insurgents with guns to infiltrate Ottawa protest

That enticing nugget of speculation can be found in the pages of the Globe and Mail today (Gary Mason p 15), so you may wish to take it with a pound of salt or two.

The thought leaders at the Globe have been mightily indignant since before the convoy left Vancouver. After all, according to them, vaccine hesitancy has always been a symptom of racism and white supremacy. When Black Lives Matter declares vaccine mandates racist, the blinkered nabobs at the Globe stay silent.

PM Fluffy, meanwhile, is doubling down on his campaign of relentless vilification of the protesters. His handlers are under the impression this is a vote-winning strategy. When, two years into this pandemic, Trudeau can still stand there and talk about the only way out is getting more people vaccinated, he's definitely not got science on his side.

"Safe" and "effective" are relative terms, of course. We're among the leading nations in terms of vaccine uptake, and we've got more covid, more hospitalizations, and more deaths than ever. Does that really strike you as a sound basis for a mandatory vaccination policy?

The folks in those trucks don't thinks so.
