Trucker protest over COVID vaccines: Here’s what you should know – By Oscar Gonzalez (CNET) / February 12, 2022
A protest in Canada over COVID-19 vaccines might make its way to the US.
A group of Canadian truckers protesting vaccination requirements may be inspiring activists south of the border to disrupt one of America’s biggest annual events: the Super Bowl.
Calling themselves members of a “Freedom Convoy,” demonstrators across Canada set out in late January to protest the country’s vaccine requirements. Their occupation of the country’s capital, Ottawa, has led to disturbances, including truck horns blaring night and day and alleged property damage and hate crimes.
The protest hasn’t accomplished its goal of stopping vaccine requirements in the country, but it has put stress on supply lines between Canada and the US. It’s also inspired similar protests against pandemic restrictions in other countries around the world, including New Zealand, Australia and France.
