After Candice Bergen and other Conservative MPs spent the last two weeks supporting the aims of the truck convoy and its supporters, the now interim party leader says she thinks the time’s come to take down the barricades.

”Stop the disruptive action, and come together.  The economy that you want to see reopened, is hurting,” said Bergen as she was presenting a Tory motion calling on the federal government to present a plan to lift all federal mandates and restrictions by the end of February.

”We are seeing the evidence and public health advice change.  Last week, Canada’s Chief Public Health Officer, Dr. Theresa Tam, said that all existing public health measures needed to be ‘re-evaluated’ so that we can ‘get back to some normalcy’.”

The motion is scheduled to come to a vote on Monday.
