Although the winter 2022 truckers’ protest against Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s punitive vaccine mandates shook Canada down to its mukluks, it no longer dominates the headlines. Still, it remains in public consciousness. Prominent protest members were recently convicted or are still on trial. Its implications are still with us, and its long-term effects may well be seismic.
The Freedom Convoy traversed the country from Prince Rupert, British Columbia, to the nation’s capital in Ottawa to protest the biggest experiment ever in authoritarian rule over Canadians—COVID lockdowns and, particularly, the vaccines. The truckers and their fellow convoy travelers demanded the attention of a disgraceful prime minister, the abolition of vaccine mandates, and the restoration of the tenets of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms, which have been so abused by the prime minister, his cabinet, his bought-and-paid-for media mercenaries, and his penchant judiciary.

Writing in C2C Journal, Gwyn Morgan reviews the origins of the event:
Just as the provinces were ending restrictions on the unvaccinated, the Prime Minister proclaimed that returning unvaccinated truckers would be required to quarantine, a condition that would be impossible to meet.
After two years of dutifully serving their country, Morgan writes, “the truckers were to be thrown out of work—cast aside like unneeded accoutrements.”
In reaction to official disregard amounting to scorn, vast columns of rigs and trucks “drove along thousands of kilometres of wintery roads to converge upon the nation’s capital to protest in front of its Parliament buildings. The atmosphere was peaceful, even celebratory.” Nevertheless, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau refused to meet with the blue-collar truckers, whom he slandered as vandals, racists, misogynists, antisemites, and more, before finally invoking the never-before-used Emergencies Act (successor to the almost-never-used War Measures Act) to crush the protesters.
