A convoy of truckers opposed to cross-border COVID-19 vaccine mandates will make its way through southwestern Ontario on Thursday, bringing predictions of traffic headaches while drawing scorn from some and praise from others.
“I worked for two years to bring goods and services and toilet paper and everything to everyone. We went through having no showers, no bathrooms, no food — we starved sometimes for days on end on the road — and nobody cared about us then, and now all of a sudden, they care,” said convoy trucker Bridgette Belton, who owns and operates her own rig running food products and containers between Canada and the United States.
