I still remember the convoy that shut down the country for weeks. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 2 child comments replies: [–] Hyperi0n@lemmy.film 1 point 2 years ago (2 children) The Convoy terrorized a city for weeks. Maybe shut down certain aspects of that city. The rest of Canada was largely unaffected. permalink fedilink source parent hideshow 4 child comments replies: [–] Roundcat@lemmy.ca 2 points 2 years ago It still was a scary situation to me, and reminded me a lot of the Jan 6 insurrection. It wasn't just Ottawa either that was terrorized though. There were smaller convoys that terrorized towns in Alberta, and there were several border crossings that were blocked by truckers. Canada may be a more tolerant place than America, but it still faces a lot of the same vulnerabilities that we face here from being overtaken by a militant minority. permalink fedilink source parent [+] afraid_of_zombies@lemmy.world 1 point 2 years ago [deleted] permalink fedilink source parent
