Ottawa has become the center of a global populist backlash against vaccine mandates and, more broadly, liberal governments.

Insistence that Black Americans no longer face discrimination and that whites do has increasingly become a key belief among Republicans.and asked the federal government for help, but protesters appear to be settling in — and planning on more.

The protesters’ demands are often vague. In Ottawa, they ranged from an immediate end to all pandemic regulations to Trudeau’s resignation. But the common threads are clear: anti-vaccine militancy and general anger at government, a stubborn package of populist libertarianism. On Fox News, Tucker Carlson called the convoys the “single most successful human rights protest in a generation” and suggested the time might be ripe for similar actions south of the border.

Only 32% said they supported the protesters’ demands — although 44% said they were sympathetic to their frustration . But as the pandemic has persisted, Canadians’ trust in their leaders has ebbed, and the differences between the two countries’ political cultures have narrowed.Canada’s Conservative Party has been moving rightward as well. Two weeks ago it dumped its last leader, Erin O’Toole, in part because his moderate tone was out of step with his party’s populist wing.

Don't get me wrong - I like the LA Times alot. But please; democracy needs a little help here. America's hanging by a thread. No more rwws qcrazy kochtheilbannon anti-vaxx anti-mask propaganda fullpage ads. Thank you.

No one will notice. Have you been on the 5 freeway on a weekday?

Not angry truckers. They represent the people!

*should

Yes please

I guess this either shows how smart the truckers are and how stupid BLM was. The trucker have made more of a peaceful protests by staying put and not doing anything than BLM burning down towns.

Good!! People need to open their eyes understand basic statistics and 9 grade biology. Why do you the some Democrats think math is racist!? If you can’t do basic statistic then they can tell you whatever and manipulate whatever they want. Zero COVID deaths from protest 🤔🤷‍♂️🤯

They are not angry truckers, it is a people that woke up!

But, wouldn't the same crowd whining & complaining about disruption of economy & blocking roadways was a terrible thing now be...disrupting economy & blocking roadways? So, ok for them but not something they disagree with? Seems like there's a word for that. Oh yeah. Hypocrite

Those LA cops won’t play around like the Canadian cops they specialize in beating the hell out of people like the NYPD.👮‍♀️🤔

Lift the mask mandate.

One can only hope

Follow the rubles. US Insurers are already pulling the plug.

I hope it does.

I notice that you never use the word 'angry' to describe antiFa or Occupy Wall Street protesters. Looters don't even receive this adjective. Do you realize that anger is sometimes righteously justified?

Sounds like a good idea

Republican's & Faux Propaganda Network are encouraging it to happen & the second it does! They'll scream ' Supply Chain ' Quite Frankly they make me sick 😷

I’ve never seen the media try to will something into fruition as much as they are the American version of canadas clusterfuck.

In fact, people could organize, gather and protest for any reason!!!!!

Ok, but when?

Canadian Judge Blocks Money For Truckers From U.S. Right-Wing Christian Fundraising Site via yahoosg

OK stop with the angry truckers spin. FOX is hawking it. The truckers in Canada are despised for their nonsense. 90% of Truckers in Canada are vaccinated and the money for this BS is coming from America right wing to cause chaos. So don't let those off trying to destroy us.
