This weekend will be the first anniversary of the Freedom Convoy protest in Ottawa against COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions, an event that lasted about a month and ended with the controversial invocation of the Emergencies Act.
When the first trucks of the convoy rolled out of Prince Rupert on Jan. 22 last year, and from Vancouver and other cities in the following days, they began a cross-country trek none of the organizers expected would largely rally a country and inspire similar movements around the world.
