    A minority, but they are loud and have influence. I still remember the convoy that shut down the country for weeks.

      The Convoy terrorized a city for weeks. Maybe shut down certain aspects of that city. The rest of Canada was largely unaffected.

        It still was a scary situation to me, and reminded me a lot of the Jan 6 insurrection. It wasn’t just Ottawa either that was terrorized though. There were smaller convoys that terrorized towns in Alberta, and there were several border crossings that were blocked by truckers.

        Canada may be a more tolerant place than America, but it still faces a lot of the same vulnerabilities that we face here from being overtaken by a militant minority.
