The Headline is suggestive and emphatic

Canada’s trucker protests

In Canada, the truck drivers’ protests on the border have got the whole nation talking. Truck drivers turned up at the border in big rigs to protest vaccine mandates and Covid-19 measures. 

Organisers, some of which have a history of white nationalism and racism, insisted the protests would be peaceful, but reports coming out suggest it’s anything but. 

The protests – dubbed the Freedom Convoy – were sparked by a vaccine mandate for truckers crossing the US-Canada border, implemented by PM Trudeau. The rule means unvaccinated Canadian truckers crossing the two nations’ boundary would have to quarantine once they’re returned home. 

The protests have spurred interesting headlines and reports. There have been images of protesters turning up with Nazi symbol flags, racial slurs and defacing a statue of Terry Fox. Talks of the PM fleeing Canada and articles on celebrities such as Trump, Elon Musk and Russell Brand who have thrown their support behind the protesters.
