Former Conservative interim leader and MP Candice Bergen is criticizing Prime Minster Justin Trudeau for what she said amounts to mischaracterization of a private phone conversation between the two amid the Freedom Convoy protests last winter.
An interpretation of the Feb. 3 phone call by Katie Telford, Trudeau’s chief of staff, was followed by a number of media articles suggesting that Bergen publicly urged Trudeau to engage in dialogue with the protesters while privately acknowledging concerns about engagement.
