Last prediction I thought Canada was going to be pulled into the US civil war, but with the recent development I actually think Canada is up first.
The Freedom Convoy is yet another center to far-right laborer movement.
The issues are loss of fossil power, tech centralization and high inflation as Canada copies the US policy of printing itself out of an economic crisis,
while the protest is about removing red tape.
Removing vaccine mandates not going to solve the inflation crisis Canada has together with the US1 and the right wing protest seems to have backing from the Canadian police, so neither placating the protest nor attacking the protest will stop the protests.
That’s why I think the protests will not stop and eventually turn into the violent coup the US Republicans and Trumpians are salivating for.
The right wing media pundits are openly cheering it on and rich right wing USians are very likely the anonymous financial backers.
For them it will be a right wing coup and Canada will have to pay for it.
Once the coup has succeeded in Canada, they will try to do the same in the US, New Zealand, Australia, France (;_;), Netherlands (;_;) etc.
Currently the protesters are telling the media and each other that they are nothing but peaceful while blocking roads with concrete blocks supplied by the Canadian police, something that I think the US right wing has made illegal two years ago during the George Floyd riots and even went as far as to legalize for counter rioters to just drive over protesters in at least one state if they put up road blocks.
