New rules under Trudeau and truckers’ performance
The Government of Canada introduced a rule on 15 January 2022. Truck drivers entering the Canadian border will have to show a vaccination certificate. If not, they will be quarantined for 14 days. America followed suit a week later. America shares its southern border with Canada. The two countries enjoy excellent trade relations. A large portion of imports and exports pass through the road. Trucks play an important role in maintaining this supply chain. Many countries in Europe and North America are holding demonstrations in support of the vaccine. Some see it as an attack on personal freedom.
What statement of Trudeau added fuel to the fire?
The vaccine has become a requirement for crossing the US border. Truck drivers are protesting this requirement. Justin Trudeau’s statement further fuelled the fire, and the truckers became indignant. Justin Trudeau called it a collection of anarchic elements. He called truckers a minority who do not care. Those perturbed by the restrictions also supported the angry truck drivers. In his statement, Trudeau termed the truckers anti-science after the truckers’ demonstration left the PM residence and moved to another safe place. Truck drivers are becoming a danger not only to themselves but to the entire population of Canada.

Protesters surrounded Parliament and PM’s residence
Thousands of truck drivers and protesters gathered in Ottawa, the Canadian capital. Prime Minister Trudeau’s residence was surrounded by angry protesters. A convoy of 70 trucks was called the Freedom Convoy. Tuckers waved flags demanding independence along with the Canadian flag. Truck drivers are also being supported by thousands of other protesters who are angry about Corona restrictions. On the roads, the sound of thousands of big trucks echoed.

Support from all over the world
Justin Trudeau and his family had to leave the Prime Minister’s residence on January 29 when trucks carrying 50,000 protesters entered Ottawa from Vancouver. Or say that I had to flee. He is currently in Canada and is hiding. Protesters gathered in front of the Parliament building and other historic sites. Until Corona restrictions are lifted, he says he will not move from his residence. The Freedom Rally has received support not only from the opposition Conservative Party of Canada but also from outside. Former US President Donald Trump said in a rally that we stand with truck drivers. Trump’s son also attended the rally. Trump Jr. urged Americans to hold similar rallies.

Canada’s Prime Minister Trudeau on the farmers’ movement in India
He is the same Justin Trudeau who spoke about the right to protest in a democracy during the Indian peasant movement. In India, they not only expressed their concern over the farmers’ protest but also gave it their support. Justin Trudeau called it a peaceful protest and a human rights issue at that time. Interfering in India’s internal affairs, Trudeau said that the farmers should not be injured. Now that Canadian truck drivers have taken the capital of their own country hostage, Justin Trudeau has disappeared. Justin Trudeau and his family fled as soon as the matter came to their attention.
In world history, this will likely be the first time the Prime Minister of a country has been forced to leave his official residence to escape protesters in his own country. As a result, PM Trudeau has become the subject of memes on social media. Social media users report that Trudeau’s turn has come to worry about human rights in the matter of his country. On social media, a user attacked the Canadian PM for supporting farmer protesters opposing the Indian government. “Why aren’t we talking about this? The Canadian PM has run away from his house as truckers surround his home. People are constantly asking why Trudeau was involved in the election? Is he hiding the affairs of others now? Why isn’t he talking to the truck drivers directly? Why are you refusing to support Peaceful Protest?
Trudeau, however, should not run away from these truck drivers, but rather communicate with them. This is the most traditional form of debate and dialogue in Canada. Listen to their rights and demands. That’s what democracy is all about. These are their human rights. It should be the choice of these truck drivers whether to vaccinate or not.
