>> I don't know how it was portrayed/received in Canada. 1/3 of the country, the anti-Trudeau bit, could see no wrong in the trucker protests. The rest of the country saw a bunch of entitled jerks being jerks. They weren't even real truckers, more like business owners who owned trucks. Rank-and-file truckers don't have the time nor resources to go on multi-week vacations across the country. The large number of immigrants who drive trucks in Canada were also not represented. The icing on the cake was the hot tub. American protesters at January 6th brought a gallows. The Ottawa "truckers" brought a hot tub. Every weekend in my area a few huge pickups get together to drive around with their "F*ck Trudeau" flags, the remnants of the trucker protest movement. Everyone else just looks at them wondering where they get enough money to waste gas driving huge trucks around in circles on a Saturday.

There are famous videos of Sikh truck drivers on other drivers shoulders, as the crowd dances to Indian music - near the bouncy castle. But would it be illegitimate if it appealed to one demographic more than another? > Rank-and-file truckers don't have the time nor resources to go on multi-week vacations across the country.

How is this good or bad? Lots of people enjoy hot-tubbing in cold weather. > 1/3 of the country, the anti-Trudeau bit, could see no wrong in the trucker protests. No chance any of their supporters are there because they agree with the issues? You feel that everyone who supported them was doing so because they disliked the PM? Do you also feel that everyone who spoke out against them was a supporter of the PM? What opinions are legitimate opinions and which ones do people only have to support their party?
