A group of Canadian long-haul truck drivers who travelled cross-country from British Columbia as part of a “Freedom Convoy” to protest the imposition of Covid-19 vaccine requirements upon their industry have been arriving in Ottawa, where thousands have gathered to protest.
Until Saturday 15 January 2022, Canada’s lorry drivers were granted a federal exemption from vaccine requirements to enable them to cross the border into the US and back without having to show proof of inoculation against the coronavirus.
