Analysis. Since its arrival in 2015, the Canadian Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau, overcame all the difficulties: risky polls finally resolving by two tight electoral victories, in 2019 and 2021, like ethical scandals that weakened it without ever. to win against her. But the interminable conflict of the Canadian truckers of the “convoy of freedom”, who have been headquartered by Ottawa since January 29, severely decides his image: leader judged “resilient”, he appeared on this occasion as a passive head of government , even helpless to release his country from the crisis.
His inertia in the first days of the conflict undoubtedly raises a bad assessment of the actual strategy of the groupuscules at the origin of the conflict. Justin Trudeau wanted to believe that the opposition of truckers to the immunization obligation, imposed on January 15 to have the right to cross the border with the United States, was a “marginal and noisy minority”. But their claim, the repeal of the vaccinal passport, quickly proved a lure. By publishing on social networks, a “Memorandum of Understanding” calling for the dismissal of the Government, Canada Unity appeared for what it was: a small-straight-right group animated by supporters of the Qanon’s conspiracy monitoring and by activists. Canadian separatists holding an explicit political agenda, the destabilization of Canadian democracy. The authorities have taken time to take the measurement of the multiple ramifications of the movement with the Alt-Right (the ultra-salad) American, which would have brought financial support, perhaps providing it even in arms.
divided opponents

In fact, the Conservative Party imploded: The ultra-conservative wing got the head of his leader, accused of not fully supporting truckers. The favorite to its succession, a member of Ontario of Libertarian Obedience, calls for today that Canada is becoming the most free country in the world. ” The goal is to complace a covidosceptic electoral basis, attracted by the sirens of a small populist party, the People’s Party of Canada, whose only motto is to denounce the “tyrannical” character of the authorities in the health crisis. .
