As the Canadian ‘Freedom Convoy’ of truckers pushing back against COVID mandates, forced vaccinations and government regulations gets closer to Ottawa, Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announces he will be isolating at home after exposure to the COVID ‘Protest Avoidance‘ variant.
Trudeau admits he has not tested positive, but thinks it is prudent to stay home just in case.
The fundraiser for the Freedom Convoy now exceeds $6.3 million dollars and still climbing. It is estimated that somewhere north of 50,000 vehicles are participating in the convoy. The Canadian government is very concerned about the political ramifications.

(Via Global News) – […] Truckers and supportive protesters are heading to Ottawa from east and west parts of the country, as well as from southern Ontario where routes were scheduled to depart from several locations Thursday including Windsor, Sarnia, Niagara and Toronto, according to the organizers’ website.
[…] Among the topics at-issue for demonstrators is the Canadian government’s COVID-19 vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers to avoid quarantine.
Mike Fabinski, a truck driver from Barrie, Ont., said the vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers means he won’t be able to work cross-border routes anymore. “You want to be vaccinated, go ahead, your choice. I don’t want to be vaccinated, that’s my choice,” he said.
[…] The protest also now seems to be targeting COVID-related mandates generally, beyond the one for cross-border truckers.

Overall, there are multiple datapoints that show the economic quagmire that is taking place right now. Gasoline continues to rise in price, as oil costs continue to skyrocket as an outcome of Biden energy policy. Food store prices have only just begun to show the higher prices that are built into the replenishment process.
Jim Cooper was first elected to the House in 1990 and was going to have a redistricting battle. Several blue states (CA, NY, IL) are losing congressional seats due to population losses, while red states are gaining congressional districts due to population growth. The great ideological cleaving between Democrat communists and middle class Americans continues.
In the modern era, the professional left has used this dynamic to pressure corporations via organized activism and leftist demands. However, the middle class actually has more power in this type of engagement, they just don’t use it.
