      Most of my Canadian Trucker news is coming from American Twitter; surprised to learn that the Trudeau position is overwhelmingly popular, much more than Biden's rn. If you think he's about to resign in disgrace you're probably not Canadian.https://globalnews.ca/news/8532791/covid-unvaccinated-restrictions-tax-poll/ …

      As everywhere, there is some weariness with the pandemic. The Trucker Convoy could have gained some traction but it was so obviously a right-wing rat-fucking operation that it quickly alienated that silent majority.

          I went to a good talk a few years back about why there was not a Canadian Tea Party and it sort of boiled down to "look, US individualism is really lunatic sociopathy of a special sort" and the idea that this silent majority schtick is summoning 'the people' yea, feels very US

          We researched some of the biggest Facebook groups promoting the Canadian trucker protest before they were shut down yesterday, and noticed something was a bit off. The only individual admin running some of the most active groups was one woman in Missouri. Or so it seemed.🧵⤵️ pic.twitter.com/jpGEHgug2u

          The GOP is going to jump in with both feet, and it’s likely going to be a huge disaster for them

          Interestingly while I completely agree with you it seems to be polling very well in Canada. Consistent 30-35% support irrespective of question wording. That probably reflects at least ~50% support for ending covid restrictions minus a trucker penalty for being psychotic racists.

          So we now have multiple polls that are pretty consistent with each other: the support for the Freedom Convoy is about 30-35%. Am I the only who never expected the support to be that high?
