Convoy of truckers made headlines across Canada

 

A convoy of truckers opposed to the cross-border, truck driver vaccine mandate made newspaper headlines right across Canada. First Canada barred unvaccinated American drivers from entering Canada, then the U.S. moved to mirror Canada's border restrictions by banning unvaccinated Canadian truck drivers from crossing into the States.

It is believed that a vast majority of the drivers affected by the mandate are vaccinated. Yet, the small percentage of unvaccinated drivers are attracting attention out of proportion to their numbers. As the day wore on, the convoy protest seemed to morph into a protest against all COVID vaccines and COVID-related shutdowns.

Many participating in the convoy and many of their supporters lining the route said they were not convinced of the need even to vaccinate against COVID-19. 

How does the Canadian Trucking Alliance feel about the convoy? It strongly disapproves.

I am appalled by what they are doing to my city.

I'm at the point where I feel like taking out a baseball bat and going after them.
