"Speak only if your words make the silence better."~Socrates
So much of politics is noise, not signal. Sometimes politicians need t speak up but often it's better to let the silence do the talking.
For example, no politician (neither the gubbermint, nor the opposition) have addressed the Federal Appeals Court's unanimous confirmation that Trudeau the Younger's invocation of the Emergency Act to suppress and abuse peaceful protesters of the Freedom Convoy. The decision wasn't hedged at all; the Justices said all appeals by the Crown should be quashed.
King Carney and his Merry Marxist Minions don't want to admit they were wrong; Carney wasn't PM at that point but he wrote an OpEd accusing the Freedom Convoy of sedition and recommending jackboot tactics. Accountability builds credibility. Apparently the Official Narrative is more important than credibility or accountability.
The Opposition remain silent; why? The leader of the Opposition ended up being defenestrated as a result of his support of the gubbermint for their jackbooted tactics. Poilievre should be celebrating this or at least having someone in his Shadow Cabinet do so.
When this Liberal government divides people and violates their freedoms of thought, belief, opinion and expression, it loses.
By upholding the Federal Court's decision that the Liberals broke the law by invoking the Emergencies Act, the Federal Court of Appeal is upholding these Charter rights.
A Conservative Government will ensure the Emergencies Act can never be used again to silence political opposition.
I 100% support this!

The opposition has not remained silent.
