Canadian truckers clogging key routes between Canada and the US over their opposition to Covid-19 mandates say they're not going anywhere in an act of defiance with rippling effects on both sides of the border.
The protests, which began nearly two weeks ago in Ottawa, Canada's capital, were ignited by truckers who oppose the nation's new Covid-19 rule that requires them to be fully vaccinated when crossing the Canadian-US border or face a two-week quarantine. The so-called freedom convoy has since drawn others who are resisting Covid-19 preventative measures, including, mask mandates, lockdowns and restrictions on gatherings. The Canadian trucker protest is in its second week.
