Where the Canadian Trucker Protests Are Happening
New York TimesAPR 2022
Freedom Convoys have become a grab bag of right-wing grievances spreading from Canada to Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Israel. In the US, the convoys are a circus of Neo-Nazis, Stop the Steal, Q'anon, Fox News stars, GOP personalities, and grifters hawking merchandise and cryptocurrency. It's unclear how organized this will actually become, but for now it sounds a lot like Jan 6.
These Freedom Convoys are the most successful human rights protests in a generation. Working class people are resisting elitist and authoritarian COVID policies. These are not "insurrectionists" and "Neo-Nazis"--this is an organic blue collar movement. Trudeau's tyrannical policies are being pushed back, and leftist leaders like Biden had better take note.
