This is a really great question. In the US the mandates have been failing in the courts. The OSHA mandate is dead-dead. The federal contractor one is still pending but it does not look good. ...but in general mandates are coming down all over the US. Even NY is ending their vaxpass BS... So what are they protesting?
I have also heard people suspicious that the US convoy was astro-turfed and a set up. In CAN the plight of the truckers was clear. Get jabbed or you cannot cross the border. If you cannot cross the border you can't be a CAN trucker in a practical sense. Lot's of people put the truckers on a pedestal and made them up to be fighting for 'The freedom of all Canadians' but in reality they were just working Joes pushed up against a wall and were fighting for survival.
...But what is the do-or-die fight for US truckers right now?
People are still out of work from mandates. Schools and states are still forcing insanity. Many countries are still locked down.
Awareness they are not the minority and support for Canada and other countries has merit in its own right.
Those are plausible reasons, but have the truckers actually ever said why they’re protesting? Because I haven’t heard anything and apparently I’m the only person in the country asking the question.
I've not paid attention to them.
“I have also heard people suspicious that the US convoy was astro-turfed and a set up.”
Yeah I’ve got that suspicion, too..
Then Brandon can follow Trudeau’s lead and be like “oh I’m now going to invoke super duper patriot act martial law”, and the whole time the government themselves set the whole shit up.
That makes more sense to me than protesting a mandate that doesn’t actually exist.
