In Praise of Conflict

    There are many areas of our lives in which conflict is wrongly antagonized in favour of common ground and unity. But where conflict is suppressed in favour for common ground, this is always a false unity. 

    I agree with Jonathan Marks that conflict between the public and private sector is often seen as taboo. One example of this is the Truckers protest that gathered in Ottawa, which caused excessive government overreach and financial surveillance, punishing law abiding Canadians for supporting a cause which happened to be in conflict with government policy.
