I don't understand the mechanics of this protest. One big tow truck could move all the trucks out of the way, disabled brakes and flat tires or not, in a few hours and clear the roads. The city/government can't find a few tow trucks? Are the Canadian police actively supporting the protesters by not bringing in a tow truck? Couldn't the national guard equivalent make short work of this? Seems like the road blocks could have been ended a week ago, even if the protests continued.
- m-p-3 5y agoThe tow trucking companies are either supporting the protest, those who don't are found out and harassed into inaction. Also, most tow companies make the bulk of their revenue by towing large vehicles, so potentially antagonizing the truckers and ending up on some kind of unofficial towing blacklist would hurt them to a point where they'd rather not do anything.
