Thousands of truckers and supporters rolled into Ottawa on Saturday for a rally on Parliament Hill. The movement initially began in response to cross-border vaccine mandates affecting truck drivers but has since grown into a wider protest against COVID-19 public health measures in general.
The protest at Parliament Hill was also covered prominently on conservative media outlets in the U.S., such as Fox News and Newsmax TV.
The former president wasn’t the only Trump family member to endorse the convoy. Donald Trump Jr. also expressed his support for the convoy in a video posted to Facebook on Tuesday, saying “We need to see more of this here in the U.S.”
Other prominent individuals that have lent their support for the protest internationally include Tesla CEO Elon Musk, podcaster Joe Rogan and comedian Russell Brand.
