Iโ€™m from Canada. Donโ€™t believe everything you hear about the trucker protests

Ari Blaff - 13h ago

Writing in The New York Times, Paul Krugman called the trucker protests โ€œa slow-moving Jan. 6โ€ with the truckers cast as โ€œeconomic vandals.โ€ An MSNBC commentator said that ineffectual law enforcement response to the Ambassador Bridge blockade smacked strongly of what happened with the Capitol Police before and during the attempted putsch on Jan. 6. A CNN correspondent called the demonstrations โ€œan insurrection, sedition.โ€

 

Others have taken to pointing out a perceived a race-based double standard among those who decried the Black Lives Matter protests in the United States, but now support the Canadian trucker protests. But to my well-meaning American friends engaging in these comparisons, it might be worth exercising a bit more caution before stepping into another nationโ€™s conversation.
