Truck drivers in Canada are protesting vaccine mandates on their industry with a massive convoy that may break world records. "It’s 70 km long," Benjamin Dichter, spokesman for the Freedom Convoy 2022, told the Toronto Sun. "I have seen footage from an airplane. It’s impressive." The Freedom Convoy left from Vancouver for Ottawa on Sunday to protest the government’s vaccine mandates for cross-border truckers, which took effect on Jan. 15. The Canadian Trucking Alliance estimates that roughly 15% of truckers in the country are not fully vaccinated, or about 16,000 truck drivers. The truckers’ convoy could be 10 times larger than the record if it stays intact on the trip to the Canadian capital. Estimates say 50,000 trucks could be participating, the Toronto Sun reported. The convoy plans to reach Ottawa by Saturday for a protest. (Fox News) |
