I really feel like there were a number of "resorts" that could've been taken before this "last" one.

Engaging in dialogue with the truckers and not inflaming the situation by calling the truckers names are at the top of my list.

Engaging in dialogue with Canadians would be next on my list.

Using the powers granted to Ontario in their state of emergency would be on my list well before declaring a nation-wide emergency.
