Hundreds of Canadian truckers have converged on Ottawa for a major demonstration against vaccine mandates to cross the Canada-US border.
Coming from as far as British Columbia on the Pacific coast, the “Freedom Convoy”, as the truckers have named it, has been growing and drawing more attention in recent days, according to an AFP report.
Since mid-January, Canada and the United States have imposed a Covid-19 vaccine mandate for truck drivers crossing the border between the two countries, the longest in the world at nearly 5,500 miles.
The vaccine mandate has been denounced by some truckers.
