So it doesn't matter which government they're protesting? What are they actually protesting then?

Tamara Lich, the organizer of this protest, seems to have no direct ties to the trucking industry, does have a history of associating with far right separatist groups from Alberta.
Online campaign for rolling truck blockades to protest vaccine mandates linked to right-wing separatist groups
The GoFundMe campaign has raised more than $2 million in a week to buy fuel for truckers who want to disrupt highway traffic to protest vaccine mandates.

Wonder how much is going to that cause?
Truckers are great people who have kept the economy rolling. The vast majority are vaccinated, kudos to them.
Hundreds or thousands of transport trucks rolling coal across the country AND they expect my sympathy? 
67% of Canadians want additional restrictions for the unvaccinated, according to an Ipsos poll that came out today.
At this point even O’Toole doesn’t appear ready to really throw his name behind these people.
I’m not saying their support won’t grow, but I do wonder if it will ever grow to a point of popularity beyond the fringe.
I suspect this one will work out about as well as it did for the truckers that participated in the carbon tax protest convoys.

It doesn`t make sense.
If they can`t enter the US, they are simply protesting for the sake of protesting.
I'll use worldwide statistical research. A billion doses with very few side effects. Hospitals filled with unvaccinated. Draw your own conclusions, and if you want to roll the dice on your health, you're welcome to.
But oh, if society chooses to shun you, that's on you.
That's easy, follow the money.
Funds frozen after millions raised for truckers protesting vaccine mandate
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.

GoFundMe is holding the donations until organizers can provide a clear plan of how it will be spent, including any remaining money.
Sounds like someone was about to buy a new house and a Porsche.
I'm shocked that Oracle fell for this!
Why is it shocking? Righties are the easiest marks to dupe.
What's really funny is they think they're going to get sympathy from the public. When some 90% of people are vaccinated, you don't have a lot of people on your side to begin with. And then they're threatening to interfere with the supply chain of food and other essential items? Just makes them look stupid.
I heard on the news this morning that they have 47,000 donors worldwide. That's a paltry fraction meaning that they're not getting the support in Canada that they claim and that $4 million in donations are largely from groups rather than individual Canadians who support their cause.
Funny how the righties stopped posting on this thread. Did the truth rain on their little convoy?
Call me suspicious, but I do wonder based-on these numbers if it’s not the truckers participating in the protest donating to their own GoFundMe, hoping to be able to draw from that same fund for reimbursement.
GoFundMe holding onto the funds makes perfect sense. I’m not sure anyone could possibly be surprised that a group that waited until after the mandate was in-effect to fight wasn’t organized enough for a payout from their own GoFundMe.
I feel like some are mixing up the support for easing of restrictions with support for easing of restrictions against the unvaccinated.
From the last week:
Majority of Canadians support more COVID-19 restrictions for unvaccinated: poll - National | Globalnews.ca
An Ipsos poll conducted exclusively for Global News showed that 67 per cent want the government to impose further measures on the unvaccinated population.
globalnews.ca
More than one in four Canadians support jail time for the unvaccinated, poll finds
In the Maru poll, 27 per cent of respondents say it would be OK to jail the unvaccinated for up to five days
nationalpost.com
Majority of Canadians don't have sympathy for unvaccinated who get sick from COVID: poll
A new poll examining how vaccinated Canadians view the unvaccinated found the majority do not have sympathy if those who have not received the vaccine get seriously ill from COVID-19.
toronto.citynews.ca
There's not much support. The protests can make an impressive news cast item because a few thousand people show in 1 place; but it's a ludicrously small fraction of the general public.
Most of which will be returned, once GoFundMe decides that the organizers of this are just a bunch of grifters. But you still donate directly to Tamara Lich's bank account.
This is awesome.....Truckers from South Carolina to show support for this worthy cause.
