Just what exactly is so dangerous about that Canadian protest? Based on video, the presence of sing-alongs, bounce houses, hot dogs, and \u201cfree-dom\u201d hugs seem to be mainly drawing the ire of the Canadian government.<\/p>\n<p>For nearly a month, Canadian truckers protesting pandemic restrictions have squatted in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, drawing attention and support from the entire world as they\u2019ve brought the area of the city to a halt. Crowds have joined them, donations have flowed in, and Canadian provinces have <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/freedom-wins-canadian-provinces-lift-covid-mandates-after-trucker-protests\">dropped certain vaccine mandates<\/a> in recent weeks.<\/p>\n<p>Perhaps the global support and universal appreciation of the fight for freedom is why the Canadian protesters love to sing \u201cWe Are the World\u201d in circle sing-alongs.

As Louisiana Senator John Kennedy (R) recently told Fox News, Trudeau\u2019s response has been arrogance and condescension through and through. Kennedy <a href=\"https:\/\/www.dailywire.com\/news\/senator-john-kennedy-on-trudeau-to-be-a-smart-a-first-you-have-to-be-smart\">surmised<\/a> it stemmed from Trudeau\u2019s elitism, jokingly referring to his expensive palate as a possibility as to why why he ignored the truckers reasonable questions regarding the need for the vaccine mandate:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><em>\u201cNow here\u2019s the prime minister\u2019s response and instead of saying, \u2018Fair question, let\u2019s sit down and talk about it\u2019 \u2014 his plan for convincing the truckers that they are wrong is by saying, \u2018You\u2019re a bunch of stupid idiots.\u2019 Here\u2019s what I hear the prime minister saying to the truckers. \u2018Look truckers I\u2019m smart, you\u2019re not, I\u2019m educated you\u2019re not, I drink caramel frappuccinos, you don\u2019t.

Those losers should be condemned entirely and have been by all prominent public figures supporting the Freedom Convoy. By all accounts though, this protest has been largely peaceful \u2014 nothing like the riots of 2020 which were hailed by Leftists around the world. Compared to those riots, the Freedom Convoy looks like a block party.<\/p>\n<p>It should be noted though, that on Thursday night, there was at least one fight that broke out \u2014 a snow-shoveling fight.
