These are still a low percentage of truckers. in Ottawa a good portion of truckers left to go back to work. Most of the protestors seem to have other jobs, well or had them based on the many that say they had to resign due to vaccine requirements at work. As a thought experiment I wondered how this would go down in a US city, honking all hours of the night, etc. Probably get blasted They're mostly angry WASPs, Bruce should be onside with them.

Wonder how well Hatred sold.

The funniest "stupid person" complaint I saw at the protest was some guy saying they were trying to have apartheid between the vaccinated and unvaccinated

Yes. You think these are Liberal (centrist party) or NDP (our version of left wing) voters ? If he mean extreme right then yeah they're not all Nazis. From hearing some there's a bit too many that sound like they'd fall for far right BS, though.

They largely are right wing, though.

Nah, wouldn't say it mostly neo-nazis. Just usual people going off an inaccurate premise. No mandates for vaccines in Canada by the government, is one for crossing the border. They wanted to have one for inter province travel for truckers but not sure if they'll go ahead with that. Now they're blockading more cities, also one of the crossings at Windsor, although just saw that ended. Not even MCGA, it's MAGA, too many Albertans think they're American. Heck, some want to secede and join the US (I guess they'll get statehood immediately, mostly white after all and have oil). Wonder what the Canadian Trump will be like

Yeah, well the Toronto ones. They planned to shut down the city or some nonsense, not realizing this city barely flows on a good day Decent sized crowd, from the interviews I saw of the people there most weren't nutbars. Too many MAGA people up here that don't realize we're in Canada though, but was as I expected - people unhappy with restrictions, although those are eased up as of Feb 1. Also off of traffic people are out and about a lot - so maybe people were upset about not being able to go to bars and restaurants ? Other complaints were just as I said : masks are evil, won't someone think of the kids. As usual the hangers on were the best, some guy talking about Jews running the world, others saying we just need Jesus. And the Americans up here just thinking they're Mel Gibson in Braveheart. The dumb thing is though they are all on Trudeau's case but the restrictions are at the provincial level, or for the border issue the US hasn't dropped their vaccine requirement. Some say the US will follow Canada's lead which I think overstates Canada's weight in the CAN-US relationship. Given the number of conservative Premiers, it does make me chuckle

Still have a mask mandate so you have to wear them in places like stores, etc., these meshbacks here this weekend see this as a loss of freedom. Well some, was interesting to see streams and people just yelling for non-specific "freedom" (****ing Americans up here...) and complaining about Trudeau. Oddly, nothing about our conservative Premier Ford who they are the base of and who also has imposed restrictions on things here. Protest fizzled out, cops didn't take any crap and kept them away from the legislature by road, also innate Toronto traffic helped thin them out a bit.
