A truck with banners is seen parked in front of Parliament of Canada as demonstrators continue to protest the vaccine mandates implemented by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on February 10, 2022 in Ottawa, Canada.

Canada Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was challenged by dissenting Canadian truckers who were branded as outlaws due to their protest.

Emergency powers allow him to heap $100K fines on truckers voicing their dissent of vaccine mandates, similar to what Joe Biden did.

Behind the scene, police were taking gas cans and woke CEOs of funding apps who chose to shut down access to donations.

Truckers Continue Protests Over Vaccine Mandates

The protestors gathered at the Ambassador Bridge in Windsor, Ontario, which is a major trade route. Trudeau's regime's mandate regarding the COVID-19 vaccine as opposed to trying to stop crossing the Canada-US border, The Express reports.

Indications point out the Biden administration is trying to prevent spillover, even asking the Canadian PM to stop the convoy from entering the US.

Doug Ford, tha Ontario Premier, charged the protest is now an occupation. Truckers have gotten tired of the imposition of their government.

Fear of growing support has prompted the administration to heap a $100,000 to send the protesters home, an equivalent to £60,000, and get a 12-month jail term for expressing legitimate protest.

Ford added that it's not part of a protest to get food, fuel, and goods over the border, while many call these actions suppression.

Also, the police are provided the tools and powers to deal with the situation and restore order.

PM Justin Trudeau was questioned whether the army would be called in to stop the dissenting Canadian truckers forcefully, but he said it is not an option yet. He added it might be an eventuality.

Posting on social media, the prime minister claimed the protest action affects jobs, trade, the economy, and communities. He said they should be stopped.

Opinions have noted that slamming these working-class truckers that they are harming the economy after almost two years of lockdowns imposed that caused damage to many businesses.

Citizens are tired of these mandates and exercising their rights but have called out vaccine mandates as undemocratic, questioning pandemic policies.

Former speechwriter of Canadian Prime Minister Michael Taube stated in The Telegraph that the imposition of mandatory vaccination tramples individual rights.

He added that several things are incorrect, and the PM has other evident motives.

It's a mistake to target truckers joining and expressing sentiments against the government, which is anti-people. Many of them are vaccinated and aware of their function in delivering goods and services vital to society.

They are protesting against the Trudeau government's alleged authoritarianism, which has not considered the effect of these mandates.

Taube stressed the mandate to vaccinate has a problem because it targets the trucking industry unfairly, and there should be more studies before doing that, as with other sectors.

Trudeau Pressures Truckers

Since the start of the trucker's protest, which has been uneventful except for claims by those sympathetic to the government, overall control is still with the truckers who were leveraged threats as they neared the Canada-US border.

But Ford and other Canadian officials are adamant, saying that the majority are sympathetic to the government. Instead, a hardline for the vaccine mandate is still in place.

Justin Trudeau is not backing down against the peacefully dissenting Canadian truckers while Joe Biden hopes none spills over. The Canadian government expects the $100,000 fine scares off the truckers.
