Hi Janice
Your observations concerning the 2015 election are a good reminder of what has occurred since.
Conservative Party media ads depicting Monsieur Trudeau as, "Not Ready (yet)", had displayed then a degree of prescience. That ad was not necessarily meant to besmirch. It was a foreshadowing of what Canada received after 2015.
The PMO, and those displaying the big minds of the day, all benefited career-wise by promoting the hand-wringing politics of 'woke', which is now under dispute. These politics are likely to have been a brave excursion into the new ways of some entities foreign to us, but not so much for the people of Canada, and the nation. The people of Canada remained to live practically despite who or what was at the rudder. For most of the time from 2015 until now, we've been stalled by the minutiae of the unproven.
Regarding the two elders in Ottawa defending the nation.
It is difficult to be everywhere at any time. I observed numerous media reports concerning the woman shown on the ground in the photo. Fox News even covered this angle. More than once. I saw on-line news articles with photos of her in a hospital bed. Not so much anywhere as an acknowledgement for the 'privileged male' in receipt of the same horse walk upon his body.
I heard from an individual who claimed to be in Ottawa on this day, who claimed to be an eye-witness to the events above, who claimed to be paddy-wagoned and driven to the outskirts of Ottawa, who claimed to be abandoned in the -20 to -30 degree something cold without proper footwear and winter gear - who claimed an addition to the story of the older trampled man.
From what the world observed as events in Ottawa, and what we in this blog community understand - neither the additional but unrecognized horse trampling and the brutality seen during the final Trucker Convoy day in Ottawa could be beyond belief.
