Canada under siege: No Vax truckers occupy the capital Ottawa
The Canada is under siege. AND Justin Trudeau has another problem. A situation observed with attention even beyond the southern border with the United States. THE Donald Trump fans in fact they rejoice over the problems of the Canadian prime minister. It is no secret that the former (and future?) President of the United States was having a relationship at least not idyllic with the leader of the neighboring country. Handsome, young, cool and progressive one, under fire from the Democrats and considered “retrograde” by the Americans as “good” the other. It was inevitable that the two profiles entered on a collision course.
Well, today i republicans Americans enjoy the maxi protests dethe Canadian No Vax and do not hesitate to call them “heroes” who “they protect America“. But what exactly is happening around Ottawa? The Canadian capital is simply paralyzed by protests initiated by border truckers. After eleven days of non-stop protest and permanent mobilization, the mayor of the capital declared a state of emergency explaining that the situation is “out of control”.
Canada, protests by truckers disrupt Trudeau. Trump: “He’s a madman on the far left”
Initially, the protests had been mostly peaceful and aimed against the imposition of the vaccine requirement if you cross the border with the United States. A measure imposed by the government that detonated the fuse of the protest. But after a few days of relative calm, episodes of violence and provocation clearly over the top began. What seemed like just a boisterous performance of horn, alcohol and loud music it has gradually become something different. As the manifestations grew, they became even more extreme. Participants began brandishing signs with swastikas and confederate flags. With the desecration of public monuments including that to the fallen.
In addition to the problems for public order, they are being created dangerous social tensions among Canadians. The citizens of Ottawa, tired after days of busy streets and paralyzed services, organized a millionaire class action against the protesters and there were also some physical fights. The law is now that of the street, the police are no longer able to manage the situation. The city appears literally occupied by the so-called truck drivers Freedom Convoy. The police are unable to clear the streets or keep order.
A big problem for Trudeau, who is safe in an unknown location. It is a shock for a company like the Canadian one, certainly not known for the violence of its protests or for public disorder. Evidently Capitol Hill has made school. Not surprisingly, while Trudeau accuses the truck drivers of being against the economy and democracy, the Republicans extol them: “Canadian truck drivers are heroes, patriots, they march for our freedom, they are defending Canada but also America“said the senator Ted Cruz, stating that “the government has no right to force you to comply with any of its arbitrary obligations.”
Canada, truckers’ protest polarizes politics: Capitol Hill effect
Trump he did not miss the opportunity to throw gasoline on his former rival in difficulty, defining him “a madman of the extreme left” and also exhorting American and Canadian truck drivers to also go to Washington “to protest against Biden’s ridiculous Covid measures”. In short, an attempt at Capitol Hill bis. With Canada meanwhile splitting and polarizing more and more.
Yet Canada boasts high rates vaccination, with 85% of eligible adults having one dose and 79% having both doses. In the United States, by contrast, only 75% had one dose and 63% had two or more. Another poll found that Canadians are more likely than Americans to support Covid-related restrictions. But a minority of Canadians are tired. As the truckers made their way through the country, they raised donations and now boast more than $ 8 million in funds. The People’s Party, a far-right alternative that challenged conservatives during the last general election in September. Also for this reason, the Conservative party has ousted its leader, Eric O’Toole, for the shyness on the subject. Yes, because the heart of the party did not want words of reprimand but a total (and perhaps instrumental) support for the protests.
