It is also unprecedented to occupy the capital and block international trade for three weeks, while making demands that couldn't be met (such as asking the federal government to override provincial restrictions). Over conspiracy theories about dead baby tissue and "graphene oxide" in vaccines. 2/3 of Canadians agreed with the use of this measure.

The restrictions in place were lawful and in keeping with the charter. Canada is a rule of law jurisdiction and judicial avenues existed for the resolution of these grievances. As did normal protests. I welcome normal protests, and I welcome the truckers to return to Ottawa and picket - without their trucks. Their goal though was to overturn the results of the last election - of a minority government they only have to wait an average of less than a year to see fall on its own.

I didn't vote for Trudeau last time, I won't vote for him next time, and I completely agree with his use.

It might be, but it could also be normal disagreements that are having a wedge placed in them by foreign adversaries.

Or it could be completely unrelated. I am very open to that.
