Truckers Win, Trudeau Loses: 4 Canadian Provinces Roll Back COVID Mandates Amid Freedom Convoy

Four Canadian provinces have agreed to modify or abolish their COVID-19 restrictions in the face of ongoing protests led largely by the nation’s truckers.

That’s not bad for a movement that Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau dismissed as a “small fringe minority” when it started late last month.

Canada’s vaccine mandate for all truckers entering the country went into effect Jan. 15 and became the catalyst for the truckers to form the Freedom Convoy, even though the vast majority of truck drivers in Canada had already gotten the jab.
