Freedom Convoy the ‘Single Most Successful Human Rights Protest in a Generation’
by Jeff Poor
Thursday, Fox News Channel host Tucker Carlson heralded the so-called Freedom Convoy trucker protests as “the single most successful human right protest in a generation.”
According to the FNC host, the movement within Canada has been able to overcome the anti-trucker protest campaign being waged against it in the media. He credited the citizen journalists on the ground.

CARLSON: When Democratic politicians across this country all of a sudden start to pull back their mask mandates, they did it virtually overnight, and of course, they did it in unison, we naturally assumed that new polling had to be behind it. Some of the D.N.C. must have seen terrifying public opinion numbers and decided to abandon Project Quarantine before the midterm elections. That made sense to us. We explained that theory in the show last night, but we still think it’s probably pretty true.
But it’s also clear as of tonight that there is another explanation for this. Democrats in this country are looking north to their friends in the ruling party of Canada, and what they see there scares them.
Canada’s working class has finally rebelled after years of relentless abuse. Truck drivers are threatening to topple Justin Trudeau’s creepy little government with their big rigs, and they may succeed actually.
The protests against Justin Trudeau’s vaccine mandates had been far more effective than anyone in charge imagined. For Democrats in the United States, that’s a pretty obvious lesson.
Over the past 48 hours, Canadian truckers have blocked the major trade routes between their country and ours. Last night, farmers driving heavy agricultural equipment shut down the highways at the Manitoba border with the United States. You’re seeing footage now from the town of Emerson, Manitoba.
