The siege\u2019s organizers dusted off a \u201cMemorandum of Understanding,\u201d already written before the idea for a truckers\u2019 convoy came to them, that called for the Senate and the Governor General to depose Justin Trudeau from his post as prime minister. This is not something the Senate and Governor General can do. So <strong>it was really a Memorandum of Misunderstanding, or of Not Wanting to Understand<\/strong>. Organizers eventually withdrew the memorandum from their website, but for weeks they refused to withdraw themselves from the centre of Canada\u2019s capital city.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Wells notes that one of the remarkable things about the convoyers\u2019 Ottawa encampment was its speed, compared with <strong>the way things usually work<\/strong> in the city.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>Next to the hot tub is the former U.S. embassy, three stories of Indiana limestone directly facing the Centre Block. Since 1999, it has stood empty because there\u2019s a new, far bigger embassy around the corner. In the early 2000s, somebody decided the grand old building should become Canada\u2019s national portrait gallery. When the Conservatives came to office in 2006, I guess they worried about whose portraits would go in the thing, and whose wouldn\u2019t, so they spent nearly a decade ensuring it wouldn\u2019t be a portrait gallery. When the Liberals returned in 2015, they decided it should be an Indigenous Peoples space. There have been substantial disagreements about exactly what that should entail. So, for 23 years now, that prime real estate has lain fallow. For a while now, I\u2019ve imagined the former embassy as a stop on an Ottawa Paralysis Tour I might run for tourists.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p><strong>\u2014 Stephen Maher<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"under-article-widget-nl\">\n<p class=\"under-article-widget-title\">Looking for more?<\/p>\n<p class=\"under-article-widget-description\">Get the best of <em>Maclean&#8217;s<\/em> sent straight to your inbox.
