It's also dark that people respond to being governed by someone they didn't vote for by blockading their country's economy. And that this action is funded by people in other countries who never had a vote in the first place.

> And that this action is funded by people in other countries who never had a vote in the first place. I am somewhat puzzled by this take. Consider how much people donate to people in other countries that they've never met and in which they've never voted. Consider how much people donate to content creators that they want to support (youtube, substack, etc.). Consider that there are currently several fundraisers on GoFundMe for the people of Ukraine, who are afraid of an invasion — also, presumably, from people from other countries. Why are the donations to the truckers by the people who are sympathetic to their cause any darker?

Hello, I am a Canadian and my government has allowed someone we did not vote in to shutdown our economy and restrict me. If the government can do that, we the citizens can do it. My province has increased covid rules and keeps pushing opening up for vaccinated down the road. While everywhere else is easing off. We can't even go to a gym to work out and our hospitals are way under normal capacity. I am not pro outsiders funding our citizens to do these things but at this point I'll take the help I can get.

  So you're saying that your country, Canada, yearns for freedom?
