Lots of Sikh drivers have joined an epic convoy of tens of hundreds of truckers some forty miles long as it snakes its way throughout Canada, driving from Vancouver to the capital Ottawa to protest vaccine mandates and Covid-related restrictions.
The problem has turn out to be a essential political headache for Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who at the start disregarded the protest, set to descend on Ottawa over the weekend, as a “small fringe minority of people…who are keeping unacceptable views and do not symbolize the views of Canadians who have been there for each other.” But on Friday, the truckers acquired a shot in the arm with prominent anti-enforcement Americans, consisting of radio host Joe Rogan and Tesla’s Elon Musk, the world’s richest man, backing what has been dubbed the “Freedom Convoy.”
“Canadian truckers rule” Musk tweeted on Friday, adding, “If you scare people enough, they will demand removal of freedom. This is the course to tyranny.” Rogan stated Canadians are “in revolt,” even as fundamentalist Republicans in the US expressed assist for the rally, one of the biggest in Canadian history, pronouncing truckers have been the actual opposition in Canada.
Sikhs represent a tremendous share of truckers in both US and Canada, with estimates of 150,000 and 200,000 personnel commanding up to forty per cent of the business. According to the Canadian Trucking Alliance, as many as 32,000 of the 160,000 Canadian and American cross-border truckers may also have to be taken off the roads due to the vaccine mandates instituted by the Trudeau government.
