For the past few days truckers in Canada have been demonstrating against vaccine mandates. Five days ago the convoy organized in Alberta and pushed towards Ottawa, converging yesterday at a rally in Parliament Hill. The media reporting on this group has at best characterized them as a nuisance, and at worst as useful idiots taken over by extremist groups and fascistic Nazis.
It has been the weirdest experience, particularly this year. There was a time from 2020-2021, where we could hold out hope that the Canadian government was just trying it's best to protect the citizens of this country. However, with their increasing push back on our own defense of constitutional rights and freedoms, it has laid bare their allegiances are not to the citizens, but rather to foreign powers. Globalism is truly the enemy of humanity.
I think a lot of the vitriol that comes from official new sources in regards to the trucker convoy is driven by a (maybe instinctual) desire to control the narrative. So much of our political interaction is based upon legitimizing one or other narratives through a mass media complex. If the truckers are allowed to air their grievances in a way that is public and effectual then the government must then be self reflective in regards to the vaccine mandates. That opens the possibility for the government to be challenged on other issues and it loses authority as a result.
