Ignorance is strength

I read what you wrote very slowly. Did you read the citations very slowly about Trudeau’s mandates?

Yes, thank you for providing the non-paywalled link.

Again, there was no “truckers’ mandate”. There was consistent application of cross border requirements that applied to anyone entering Canada. Truck drivers under federal jurisdiction had temporarily been exempted from the requirements.

As of January 15, 2022 they were treated the same as others entering Canada. That is not some kind of “truckers’ mandate” it is consistent application of the law.

The mandate, which took effect on Jan. 15, states that all Canadian cross-border essential workers — including truckers — must show proof of vaccination at a port of entry to avoid stringent testing requirements and quarantine.

Those rules have been in effect for the travelling public since the fall. Truckers travelling within Canada are not affected by these new measures.

The government announced the cross-border vaccine policy on Nov. 19 and, after some confusion, the policy took effect on Jan. 15.

Regarding the silencing of Jimmy Kimmel, Americans would be wise to re-read what Martin Niemöller said.
