The "truckers." Yes, the truckers. They're were a few truckers there in Ottawa those few weeks, but mostly it was an organized, astroturfed-up mob of far-right goons, white nationalists, tough-guy conspiracy theorists, and the usual array of freelance riff-raff that show up to these sorts of jamborees---hard bearded toy store fascists from Canadian Rod & Gun Clubs such as Wexit and Yellow Vests Canada.

They harassed and intimidated the local citizens of Ottawa for a few weeks, cost the city taxpayers upwards of $10 million buckaroos, and moved on to their next disruptive rodeo. They were there to intimidate, plain and simple---not make things "uncomfortable" for Trudeau, or protest vaccines. Let's be real here, for christ sake.

Also, them Russian Ollie-garchs you're busy feeling sorry for (they're the yacht owners) have everything to do with Putin's government. They are not just adjacent to Putin, they ARE Putin's government. Most educated children who read the newspapers understand this.
