Canadian comedian Todd Van Allen joins us from his home in Ottawa, aka ground zero for the Canadian trucker protests of the last three weeks, to explain the whole ordeal and tell us what it was really like on the ground with these guys. Todd weaves a dizzying tale of how it went from a small group of truckers not wanting to get vaccinated, to a peaceful, if not noisy, takeover of major Canadian cities and US-Canada borders, to a place where today many of the major players have their bank accounts frozen and their trucks confiscated by Justin Trudeau and the Canadian government. Todd is a hilarious comedian.
