Tesla CEO Elon Musk tweeted on Thursday that "Canadian truckers rule" as drivers made their way toward Ottawa to protest against a COVID-19 vaccine mandate.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is decrying the “fringe” views among some of those who are supporting the trucker convoy making its way to Parliament Hill to protest COVID-19 vaccine mandates and other policies they feel infringe on their freedoms.
Truck drivers protesting against the vaccine mandate at the border have raised more than $4.5 million from donors around the world but the fundraising platform GoFundMe has temporarily stopped organizers from using the money.
With the Omicron-driven pandemic wave sweeping the country, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says Canadians are growing more angry and frustrated with people who still refuse to get vaccinated.
Canada - which has a population of 38 million - has admitted to secretly tracking 33 million phones during the Covid-19 lockown, according to the National Post, citing Blacklock's Reporter which first noted the disclosure.
