Listen "How did a truckers’ protest in Canada spread to other countries?"
Episode Synopsis
Alan Regan, a radio producer based in Canada, and Ciarán O'Connor, an analyst from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, join us to examine how a protest by truckers brought Ottawa is a standstill and sparked copycat demonstrations elsewhere. We examine who the groups involved are, what the response from authorities was, and how the truckers involved represented only a small minority of their industry and the wider public.The Explainer is brought to you by The Journal.
