It was an amazing grift and did a not inappreciable amount of economic damage.
And, in the aftermath, liberals were sent running from the various quarantine and vaccine mandates they’d been pushing for the last two years. That, in turn, gave us a new wave of infections. Easy to forget we were looking at around 2000 deaths a week by the end of 2021 in no small part to the public revolt that the convoys embodied.
That video was posted a year ago but the convoy to the border was like 3 weeks ago. I didn’t bother watching further to see what that video is actually about since that’s clearly unrelated.
Multiple participants from The People’s Convoy joined the Take Our Border Back convoy, it was a bit of a mini-reunion for them. I have been keeping an eye on several since they attempted to copycat the Ottawa occupation. Three livestreamers who participated in both convoys recently were featured in Wired for trying to make money through YouTube by streaming their harassment of migrants all along the border after TOBB concluded. I wouldn’t exactly call them unrelated since there was a lot of overlap between the groups, but it was disingenuous to portray the TPC turnout as TOBB since this border convoy was much smaller.
Yeah that recent trucker convoy to the border really was super successful.

Say what now? The convoy had like 100 passenger vehicles and no trucks and you think it accomplished what?
The Peoples Convoy
I’m seeing a lot more than passenger vehicles.
