Here's the other reality. https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/to-tackle-vaccine-hesitancy-canada-can-t-ignore-race-racism-health-experts-1.5234212 https://www.ctvnews.ca/health/coronavirus/to-tackle-vaccine-... Race plays a role in vaccination. Black and Indigenous Canadians are only around 50% vaccinated. Indian/Punjabis are somewhere around 70%. An awful lot of truckers are Indian. Especially from Quebec. One of the original key issues that sparked this protest is the action by Trudeau to ban unvaccinated truckers and put them out of a job. This disproportionately harmed racial minorities including Indians. The comparison or hypocrisy is that he supported the indian farmers but called the punjabi truckers a bunch of racists. It blows my mind.

[citation required] Canadian truckers were > 90% vaccinated at the time of the "Trucker" Tantrum. There were very few Southeast Asians in evidence among the tantrum throwers. They were majority white (mostly because the Southeast Asian truckers in Canada are mostly vaccinated and were quite busy because the people throwing the tantrum weren’t actually working because they refused to get vaccinated).
