Candice Bergen has sent a letter to PM Justin Trudeau calling for the end of Covid-19 restrictions and vaccine mandates. She cites the comments made by Theresa Tam saying that it’s time to “re-examine” and “get back to some normalcy.” Bergen then calls out Trudeau’s divisive comments made last week about the Freedom Convoy protesters

The whole world should be worried by the ‘siege of Ottawa’. This is about much more than a few anti-vaxx truckers

Arwa Mahdawi

What the truck is going on in Canada? No offence to Ottawa, but it’s not the most exciting place in the world. Over the past couple of weeks, however, the Canadian capital has been embroiled in drama: hundreds of truckers, ostensibly protesting against vaccine mandates, have brought the city to a standstill. Members of the so-called “Freedom Truck Convoy” have been blaring horns, desecrating war memorials and setting off fireworks. Residents are being driven to distraction. The police chief has called the situation a “siege”; the Ontario premier called it “an occupation”. On Monday, the city’s mayor, Jim Watson, declared a state of emergency.

They may be a fringe minority, but that doesn’t mean you should (as Trudeau seems to be doing) downplay or dismiss them. For one, they have a lot of powerful supporters. The usual crowd of *rightwing politicians in the US, including Donald Trump and Ted Cruz, have been cheering them on. They have also been getting millions of dollars in funding across crowdfunding sites from international donors.

After that report was leaked in September, Facebook made a lot of noises about how it was aggressively cracking down on troll farms. Has it followed through on these promises? Meta Platforms, Facebook’s owner, said on Monday that it had removed dozens of scam pages associated with the convoy protest from Facebook; however, there are still a huge number of recently created pages supporting the hauliers, with suspiciously large numbers of followers. Meanwhile, on Telegram, a social network favoured by the right, people across the world are urging each other to replicate the tactics in Canada in their home towns. Canada may not be on the brink of civil war, but what is happening in Ottawa is one small front in a global information war. And the baddies, I’m afraid to say, are winning.

Dave Rubin of “The Rubin Report” talks about the Freedom Convoy pushing Justin Trudeau into a corner. The truckers of the Freedom Convoy in Canada must be winning in their fight against vaccine mandates since Justin Trudeau appears to be pushed to the brink and the media has launched a laughable smear campaign calling it a national insurrection. Even Press Secretary Jen Psaki is trying to ignore the protests' effect on the movement of goods across the US-Canada border.
