The Canadian Truckers

I've been thinking on this for a while, and I have a few thoughts about this:

• The protests are massively inconvenient, and this is generally a good thing, because polite protests that do not inconvenience their targets are simply ignored.
• It is clear that objections to Canadian vaccine mandates are a very small minority, even among truckers.
• The protests have been organized by white supremacists with the goal of recruiting new members and gaining political power, and their opposition to vaccine mandates is a means to an end.  Much like the fluoridation conflicts in the 1950s, the vaccine mandates are more a tool used to attain political power than it is an actual deeply held grievance.
• There is a trans-national and well organized neo-Nazi/White Supremacist community, and they have been trying various techniques, and this one has achieved the most success to this point.
  
• That these protests have achieved a level of success because the police have been tacitly and actively supporting the protesters.
• There has also been a lot of incompetence on the part of the authorities.
• The fact that counter protesters are blasting a gay cowboy song at the protesters is very amusing.
• I am not sure how to handle the protests, but it is clear that the authorities have been less aggressive and less proactive than they were in targeting (for example) the Occupy Wall Street protests. 

I'd like to offer something deeper, but I don't have anything deeper to add.
