Strikes used to work. But now with the rise of electronics, and less cash circulating in society, govts hold all the power. Truckers need to eat, too, and the govt already froze banks accounts of people who gave money to the truck convoy - so imagine if they just froze the bank accounts etc of the truckers until they were back on the road? Only those with plenty of hoarded supplies would cope. Most would be forced to go back to work. I doubt Trudeau cares if a few (hundred thousand) people go on a crash diet...
When you have the power from the safety of a small room with a keyboard & internet connection and access to personal data, why do you even need police...?!
So until we have far less reliance on digital cash, I hate to say it, but I think the govt will do what it likes...
In fact, until we have over 50% of people ignoring their govt, we will have the majority of any population doing exactly what their govt wants. There will always be small pockets of people/communities finding ways that work for them, but otherwise, until the majority of people kick out their corrupt govts, we will see more and more of this madness.
