You’re certainly familiar with the Freedom Convoy in Canada by now. About a month ago, the prime minister of Canada, Justin Trudeau, imposed another vax requirement on Canadian and U.S. truckers entering Canada.
This was a mandatory vax requirement. Those who did not have the vax had to quarantine for two weeks on arrival in Canada. Many truckers live from job to job and are highly opportunistic when it comes to bidding on jobs. They self-organize in terms of destinations and the ability to pick up and drop off multiple loads in one trip.
Any sort of quarantine effectively puts them out of business, so the truckers had every reason to oppose the mandates. Their livelihoods are at stake.
