Honestly your post looks like a fraudulent/troll post as you have only posted once. Professing to be a very concerned covid citizen and then saying how peaceful this protest is.
It has significant impacts so far: Shutdown the largest trade border, cache of guns found in Coutts protest, local downtown core of Ottawa closed, $800,000 per day to the police services to manage it, harassment of people on the street, white nationalist flags and other imagery, attempted arson for an apartment building.
Also it isn't some friendly truckers who are just fed up - this is an organized protest by two fringe politicians from Alberta who planned to use the wedge issue to get traction for their party. Most truckers (90%) are vaccinated and working currently - this is a vocal minority raised combined with a non-truckers right wing nationalists jumping on the protest train.

(I'm not saying you're necessarily wrong - I don't follow Alberta politics. I'm just saying, I've never heard anything of this, so throw me some breadcrumbs here...)

Maybe its breadcrumbs ...
