Yes, but unfortunately look for Brandon to use out truckers as a "foil" to rail against and further divide the Nation.
I mean, he could listen to them and address their concerns - but how likely is that, really?
He'll probably go the way of the Canadian Castro.
I hope I'm wrong.
Well, actually, I think it might have the opposite effect. As of the Maru poll as of February 14, only 29% of Canadians think that Trudeau took the right approach in handling the convoy protest.
QUOTE FROM LINK, my italics: "with only one-in-six (17%) thinking he’s looked strong in acting to stop the ongoing truckers' protests, an equal number (17%) who think he’s used every opportunity to calm things down and find a solution, and just three-in-ten (29%) who think he’s acted like a prime minister should in the face of the protest."

However, February 14 was the day he invoked the Emergencies Act -- and from what I have read, most Canadians strongly disapproved of that.
I look forward to seeing a recent poll about that. (I did look and could not find one yet.)
I am never in favor of having innocent people suffer, but maybe if they did, the DC liberals and leftists would truly realize how much they owe to working class people like the truckers -- or at least how important they are.
Truckers are absolutely important. Why do you think the teamsters is one of the largest unions with over a million members. They are well paid with great benefits. The ones protesting are independent contractors, basically self employed.

Ive always said...when the politicians and lawmakers in our PUBLICLY elected Govt, need 'protection' from the citizens...that in itself is a HUGE HUGE red flag, that something is very wrong.
Not sure I'd call it a "red flag"..... except in regard to the politicians. THEY'd better watch out, and probably change their ways while the people still let them.
Here’s What We Know So Far About Possible Trucker Convoy Protests Coming To D.C. Soon
by Margaret Barthel
A number of groups are organizing convoys of truckers to drive to D.C. to stage protests against pandemic restrictions, similar to those that have recently paralyzed Ottawa, the Canadian capital. That convoy blocked a key border crossing between Ontario and Michigan.
Online, the movement is decentralized, with a variety of organizations planning different driving routes and arrival times in D.C. The American Truckers Freedom Fund lists six routes on its website, departing for D.C. from as far away as Washington state, Ohio, and North Dakota. The People’s Convoy, another group organizing a drive to D.C., says it will start from Los Angeles on Wednesday and arrive in D.C. next week.
The American Truckers Freedom Fund routes also appear to be targeting next week for arrival of the convoys in D.C. Authorities in D.C. are preparing for possible disruptions to the State of the Union address on March 1, though some of the trucker groups are aiming to arrive after that date. Other groups appear to be planning to arrive this week.
The People’s Convoy, which plans to arrive in D.C. after the State of the Union, has emerged as one of the main organizing groups, according to Sara Aniano, a Monmouth University graduate student who specializes in far-right social media activity in the lead-up to January 6.
