Canada has employed strict restrictions in its efforts to fight the coronavirus pandemic. But unlike in the United States, such measures have received very little pushback or politicization — until recently.
Truckers protesting a vaccine mandate have occupied the nation’s capital, Ottawa, for three weeks, leading Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to declare a state of national emergency.
We ask how Canada got to this point, and hear what the protest is like on the ground.
Guest: Catherine Porter (https://www.nytimes.com/by/catherine-porter), the Toronto bureau chief for The New York Times.
