      1. The "Freedom Convoy" in Canada has been small in absolute numbers (a few hundred trucks) but massively disruptive. It's the most successful far right mobilization in Canada in a generation. It will surely be copied all of the world.https://twitter.com/RVAwonk/status/1491983068692992004 …

      Tucker Carlson is promoting the US version of the far-right/anti-vaccine truck convoy, and I really hope everyone is paying close attention to the role he plays in manufacturing and amplifying domestic conflict. pic.twitter.com/xWdEwDiI5f

      2. Lots of debates about the "Freedom Convoy": the usual post-left knuckleheads encouraging co-option & imitation. But the striking thing is the organizers are from the truly unhinged far right, the QAnon & sovereign citizens quadrant, that doesn't allow for rational politics.

      3. I talked with @NoLore about the "Freedom Convoy," its roots in Canada and also its connections to global far right.https://jeetheer.substack.com/p/podcast-the-siege-of-ottawa?utm_source=twitter …

      What's the evidence that the truckers are causing the relaxation of the provincial mandates, as opposed to the plummeting case numbers? We're seeing the same pivot across the US.

      In Ontario I think they speeded up mandate relaxation (it was a pretty swift flip). More broadly success in getting CPC to dump leader (and opening path for party to go further right)

          The truckers clearly caused the leadership shuffle in the CPC, but I would need more evidence that the truckers caused the relaxations that are also happening all over the continent and were signposted weeks ago as numbers started to drop.

          AFAIK, nobody in power has ever negotiated with the truckers. And given how extreme the truckers' demands are (dissolving parliament, eliminating all vaccine mandates), it seems unlikely that anyone expected to pacify them by relaxing a few pandemic rules.

          We also didn't see any relaxation of mandates on the downslope of any of the previous waves.
