Most Canadians think the convoy is an excuse for right wing supremacists to complain about society

According to a study by Léger, 57% of Canadians believe that the trucker convoy in Ottawa is not about vaccine mandates and pandemic restrictions, and is instead an opportunity for right wing supremacists to rally and voice their frustrations about society.

The study also found that half of Canadians (52%) were scared by the convoy in Ottawa, because it reminded them of the ‘storming’ of the Capital Building in Washington on January 6, 2021.

Overall, just 32% of Canadians support the trucker convoy.
