Protests and Media Narratives

This chapter critiques the response of Canadian provincial governments to COVID-19 and the media's sensational portrayal of trucker protests against vaccine mandates. It examines the irony of media framing these protests as a fight for freedom, despite the majority of truckers being vaccinated, and discusses the implications of misinformation on working-class Canadians. The speakers also explore the differences in media representation of various protests and the potential ramifications for American politics.
