Description

Last weekend police swept through Ottawa, clearing a settlement of protestors. For three weeks, truck drivers from all over the country gathered in the Canadian capital. They were furious with covid laws, and with Canada's Prime Minister, Justin Trudeau. With the protests gone, where does that anger go? And with American truckers planning to shut down Washington D.C. next week, how far has this movement spread?This podcast was brought to you thanks to the support of readers of The Times and The Sunday Times.
