Canada's Trudeau, allies' reaction to Freedom Convoy truckers should put every American on notice
Fox News
It's worth understanding just why Canada’s national leadership, helmed by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau himself, reacted with horror to popular protest against unpopular policy.
A protest movement demanding the right to simply be left alone is vilified as extremist and even violent.
Last week, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau invoked the 1988 Emergencies Act for the suppression of the public protests that had been wracking Canada – and especially Canadian national government and border crossings – for the past several weeks. The protests, with their roots in COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the trucking sector, grew into a full-on populist rejection of Canadian-elite governance. The Canadian elites understand this clearly, and that’s why they moved to crush it.
