Stephen Gowans, author and socialist commentator, provides not only analysis of the phony "truckers" convoy, but also, being a resident of Ottawa, an eye-witness account of what he has personally observed. And it is good news: Workers and residents of Ottawa, led in part by organized labour, have begun "policing" the right-wing owner-operator gang themselves.
Gowans' assessment of the big-rig show is summed up in a recent tweet: "The only freedom the 'Freedom Convoy' seeks is the freedom of its billionaire backers to exploit workers and gouge consumers without the impediment of measures to keep workers and the public safe from Covid-19."
