Conservatives Are Silent On Canadian Truckers

Andrea Widburg at the American Thinker has noticed something that doesn't quite make sense about the Canadian trucker's protest. What Widburg has noticed is that so called conservative polititians have been silent.

For anyone who doesn’t watch the mainstream media, what’s happening in Canada has been one of the most exciting things in the two years since COVID left China and turned most of the world’s Western politicians into tyrants. Across Canada, outside of the despotic confines of Justin Trudeau’s brain and the Canadian Broadcasting Corporation, people are galvanized by the 45-mile-long truckers’ convoy that drove into Ottawa in pursuit of liberty. The Canadian opposition, however, although given a golden political opportunity, had nothing to say for a week, only stirring itself on Monday to a few weak pieties. Jordan Peterson gave them a solid scolding for their dismal performance.

Unsurprisingly, Sundance, at The Conservative Treehouse, noticed that Canada’s conservatives couldn’t bestir themselves to capitalize on the truckers’ inspiring stand. He grouped their passivity with the silence of conservative leadership in Australia, Canada, and the UK. I would add that we can say the same about most congressional “conservatives” in America.

Widburg posits that the reason for conservative silence is that the truckers are working class people, while the conservative polititians come from the same elite class as the Leftists. They go to the same schools, and essentially have the same point of view. When push comes to shove, they will side with the Left every time.

Personally, I think we should stop calling them the "elites." Most of these people are scavengers, stealing our wealth and income. They produce nothing, and deserve none our wealth.
