Doug was torn with an election coming up because obviously these FREEDUMM DUMS are his base although angry with Ford for working with Justin.Doug asked for Emergency Act once the bridges were blocked and harming the economy. Before that he was all in support of the protesters just like the rest of the Conservative politicians.
He wasn't going to do anything as that would upset his base. None the less, he will probably get re-elected as the other two are useless.
You can see the language being used in Parliament by the Conservatives, distancing from the protesters but now focusing on overreach.
