...In downtown Ottawa I see people wearing Canadian flags to declare themselves patriots because they march to reject the government’s mandates. I disagree: doing this does not make you any sort of a patriot but rather just a complaining obstructionist with a flag on your back. Eighty-four per cent of Canadians have received at least one dose of vaccine against COVID-19, as have 90 per cent of truckers. So the protesters represent no more than 16 per cent of the population and no more than 10 per cent of truckers.
