You would think after Rogel Aguilera-Mederos they would have learned not to mess with truckers.

90% of Canadian truckers have already been vaccinated, and logistics have not been impacted by the remaining 10%. This is a nothingburger like the Australian protests were earlier this month. Lots of loud crowds, but not enough support from the population at large to make significant impact.
Meanwhile, Elon Musk has now been able to build an even stronger case for his new driverless truck fleet. No surprise he's such a big supporter of these protests (I imagine it's not the nazi flags they keep finding amongst the crowd that he's so supportive of).

This looks like a lot more fun than an Antifa rally.

But just as ineffective. I'll stay home, more important stuff to work on.

Haha, overshadowing that is that their biggest triumph is looking to be having Trudeau's opposition leader thrown under the bus:

Beep.
(Pause.)
Beep, beep.
The pattern is a secret code of sorts for loyal users of two Chinese social media apps that were shut down by the government to identify themselves. Honk the signal while idling at a red light, and if you hear it in response, then you know a fellow fan is near.
“It’s almost like there’s a war on humor and fun,” said Joshua Rosenzweig, a Hong Kong-based adviser at Amnesty International. (Sound familiar??)

Better stock up your deep freezer in case there are supply shortages and people empty the supermarket shelves.
Oh and buy some earplugs for all the honking. lol.

Oh lord.
I only watched a minute or two of that, and I can agree that Musk has a vested interest in all of this, but there's no way I'm watching 2 hours of what appears to be the ramblings of a mad man. Especially after your introduction here to the video. Good grief.
