Not here.Demand creep. Makes it more difficult to resolve the situation through negotiation. In any case, this blockade might have had a large sympathetic majority in favor of their grievances. As the blockade drags on there is a tendency for support to wane.
Drop the mandates. Then you can put it on the protestors about mission creep.
But I bet, the mandates go, and the truckers go.

Only if you have beer goggles on.Doesn't seem to be waning.
I do see a bunch of weak "leaders" getting their panties in a wad though.
I remember when running over protestors who were blocking freedom of movement was quite the crowd pleaser on INGO in the not-so-distant past.Only if you have beer goggles on.
Shutdowns and layoffs aren't crowd pleasers.

It truly does depend on whose ox is getting gored.I think folks had their fill of the burning, looting, and murdering.
I will opine after the truckers start destroying property and pulling guns on people.It truly does depend on whose ox is getting gored.
And burning and looting. You forgot the burning and looting.I will opine after the truckers start destroying property and pulling guns on people.
Except, Group A is blockading thoroughfares and causing economic damage which might ultimately be greater than the losses by arson from the BLM protests. (and there may have been arson in this present protest....under investigation at present with no identification of culprits at this point).Group A: peacefully demonstrating for a return of rights taken away without due process.
Group B: demonstrations escalating into arson, property damage, theft, and murder. Documented cases of attempted extortion on local businesses. Demands are ephemeral, pie in the sky with no real “win” condition other than: “you bend the knee and pay me.”
Yes, I am such a hypocrite for supporting the actions of one group over another. And if you need purple for that, you’ve got a cranium denser than lead.
