Why are truckers in Canada protesting?

Truckers have caused blockades on the US-Canada border, and filled the capital city of Ottawa.

"Freedom Convoy" initially began as a protest against vaccine requirements for lorry drivers travelling across the border into the US. Now cities around the world are protesting in similar ways.

They don't like bullies, simple as.

That poor little woman masquerading as a reporter seems Ignorant, hugely ill-informed and terribly out of her depth. Perfect for Sky News, then.

It’s because our charter rights are being violated, why can reporters not say those words?

[yrregrazal]

The same the whole world is protesting... against mandatory marks to buy or sell...

Shameful and disgusting what Trudy and his gang are doing to canada

[yajurkotwal]

We are deeply concerned about the Human rights of Canadians protesters..🇮🇳

There was 2.4 million people when the protest started. There’s more people at the weekends. When did they report this. During the week? 🤷‍♂️

We shouldn't have a prime minister who is 100% against Canadians and what they say is important to them. Canadians want to continue to work, and when there are problems to resolve they want their government to dialogue with them. But no, Trudeau is not there for that. He thinks and decides on his own.

Lame. This is why I gave up on Sky, the BBC and other legacy media.

The first guy is yelling "Hold the line!" not "All the lies!".

The truckers are maple American than 85% of Americans (sheep). In America we sit on our hands and cry, and do nothing about any of the injustices these politicians do and get away with.

Does Sky "news" assume that people, by now, don't know perfectly well why the truckers are protesting.

The Telegraph has a video titled "Canadian truckers: why protesters are still blocking the road despite economic hit"

The fact that news is propaganda is clear just from their titles.

I'm no economist, but I'm sure that the one blocked road is not destroying the economy.
Especially in contrast with the mandates.

The truckers aren't doing much except for inspiring others to resist the mandates.
It isn't about the economy, it is about silencing the truckers.

Their comment section is turned off, of course.

But what does this have to do with racism?

[malcolmmartin]

We Canadians support unlike those in Ottawa the majority supports

[wendymoore]

The reporter has no idea of the full story of the peaceful protest. I suggest she get a proper job !

In Hong Kong... The protesters protested for a year before the Chinese Government took action. This is democracy.

In Canada... It is Human Rights abuse.

Yet Canada criticized India on their Human Rights.

Should Modi sent Justin a message... Why the double standard?
