Freedom Convoy: The Canadian Blue-Collar Revival

A blue-collar revival  is afoot, the likes of which this country has never seen.

The Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa personifies the frustrations of Canada’s  blue-collar workforce. When the pandemic was raging these folks manned our hospitals, grocery stores, and critical infrastructure. They were the heroes of the pandemic. Two years later, those who refuse to be vaccinated are dismissed and disparaged by a federal government that seems hopelessly out of touch with the reality of working-class life.

Contrary to Justin Trudeau’s characterization, the Freedom Convoy is not made up of a “fringe minority”; rather, it is a steamrolling, well-organized display of raw Canadian blue-collar power. They are not to be trifled with, as the federal government is about to learn. The hard way.
