Protests inspired by a small radical movement continue in Canada for the second week in a row, and neither the administration nor the protesters are retreating.
Canada prime minister Justin Trudeau accused protesters against interest rate restrictions and vaccine demands in the country’s parliament on Monday of cracking down on democracy. Trudeau too vetoed again to the protesters to stop the protests.
The protests are underway in the capital, Ottawa, for the second week in a row. The city is declared emergency, and the mayor has asked the federal government for more police to handle the situation.
Protests have also sparked similar protests not only in Vancouver and Edmonton, for example, but also in In Finland.
The Canadian government and local authorities have so far allowed the protests to continue. There is also administration communicatedprotesters’ demands for government resignation or the abolition of vaccine claims will not be accepted.
Protesters, too are not giving up. Instead of withdrawing, protesters have even erected the streets of Ottawa saunas. Some have provided them with food and fuel, for example, to support the protesters. In places, there has even been a carnival atmosphere in the protests.
However, some locals in Ottawa, among others, are frustrated by the harm caused by the protest. You have been blocked by trucks, shops have had to close and the noise caused by the protests has bothered you.
The local judge ended up in a class action lawsuit to deny the horns of the trucks on Tuesday for the next ten days.
Most of the protesters were on the move on the first weekend of the protests. In that case, The Guardian participated by about 10,000 people. Since then, the numbers have decreased.

Protesters have even erected saunas on the streets of Ottawa.
Demonstrations originated when truck drivers began demanding a coroner vaccine to cross the U.S.-Canada border in January. Shortly thereafter, at the initiative of a group called Canada Unity, a so-called “freedom convoy,” a group of anti-vaccination truck drivers, traveled to Ottawa to demonstrate.
The group has demanded in its draft, addressed to the Canadian government in the letter according to the group’s interpretation, the rejection of unconstitutional vaccination claims.
Those behind the group have been said to support radical and right-wing views. For example, the founder of a group James Bauder is expressed to support the QAnon conspiracy theory and to view the corona pandemic as a scam.
The protests themselves have also seen the flags of the South states and the QAnon symbols attached to the far right. Ottawa police have investigated suspects in the protests hate crimeswhich have so far led to charges against four people.
The former President of the United States, among others, has expressed his support for the movement Donald Trump and a businessman known as the CEO of Tesla, among others Elon Musk.
Although the protests originated from a small movement, they also have the support of the wider population.
Produced by Abacus Data in an opinion poll about a third of Canadians said they “have a lot in common” with the protesters ’views.
However, most Canadians are positive about the country’s current corona measures, even though they have been relatively harsh by international standards.
