Canada’s protesters were opposed to vaccine mandates, but some had other reasons for being there, including concerns about inequality

It was a most Canadian protest — except when it wasn’t.

So while the bridge protest — and its quiet end — reflected Canada, the broader issues reverberated elsewhere. Confusion, anger, exasperation after more than two years of the pandemic drew support in the US and parts of Europe amid chafing at what they see as governmental overreach, economic fears and a deeply emotional desire to return to something like normal.

A number of protesters said they had lost jobs or been put on leave because they refused to get vaccinated. One pair who declined to give their full names said it’s either get jabbed or go broke. Holly, a trucker who also attended protests in Ottawa and would not give her last name, said the bridge blockade was costing her money but she believed she had no choice. She was there to ensure a positive future for “every single citizen of Canada, whether they like it or not,” she said. “It’s all peaceful. There’s no violence. It’s love.”
