The convoy will mirror similar protest movements in Canada, where truckers rallied around government buildings in Ottawa and border checkpoints in protest of the nation’s stringent va ccine mandates. Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau ultimately used the nation’s “Emergencies Act” to decIare what amounts to Canadian martial law in response to the protests. Riot police then cleared out the protesters while leaders were placed under arrest after having their bank accounts seized.
