This is the heart of the problem. It appears that Mr. Bell remains irrational. If the conversation had been allowed and rational conclusions discussed the whole protest would likely have been avoided. That lesson should be front and center in this hearing rather than the one sided view that ignored the protestors to the extent of accusing them of being a national emergency.
Good point - The citizens of Ottawa Bell heard clearly, but the truckers were “a mob”. I guess Officer Bell reads the Globe and Mail and listens to CBC to get his information!
