Canada has required truck drivers to be fully vaccinated or face a two-week quarantine period when crossing back into Canada from the US.
TORONTO -- The mayor of Canada's capital declared a state of emergency Sunday and a former U.S. ambassador to Canada said groups in the U.S. must stop interfering in the domestic affairs of America's neighbor as protesters opposed to COVID-19 restrictions continued to paralyze Ottawa's downtown.Mayor Jim Watson said the declaration highlights the need for support from other jurisdictions and levels of government.
The"freedom truck convoy" has attracted support from many U.S. Republicans including former President Donald Trump, who called Prime Minister Justin Trudeau a"far left lunatic" who has"destroyed Canada with insane Covid mandates." Heyman said"under no circumstances should any group in the USA fund disruptive activities in Canada. Period. Full stop."After crowdfunding site GoFundMe said it would refund or redirect to charities the vast majority of the millions raised by demonstrators protesting in the Canadian capital, prominent U.S. Republicans like Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis complained.
"For some senior American politicians, patriotism means renting a mob to put a G-7 capital under siege," tweeted Gerald Butts, a former senior adviser to Trudeau.
