New poll of Canadians shows why governments are falling like the ones that dominate the Demands of the Freedom Convoy

A new one Ipsos . poll for Global News CA shows why Canadian provinces are starting to follow the Freedom Delegation’s requests to lift Covid mandates, including “vaccine passports”.

The poll found that despite the mainstream media’s bias, nearly half of Canadians sympathized with the movement’s activism, while young people strongly supported the concerns. of the Freedom Convoy.

“Nearly half (46%) of Canadians say they ‘may not agree with everything that the Ottawa truck rally participants have to say, but their frustrations are justifiable and deserved. We sympathize,’ Ipsos reported. It is worth noting that “the percentage of youth 18-34 years old who adopt this view is 61%, while those aged 35-54 (44%) and 55+ (37%) are less likely to agree much more. . ”

But another insight from the poll is the breakdown in support for the Canadian Provincial Freedom Convoy.

Regionally, people in Alberta (58%) and Saskatchewan and Manitoba (58%) are most likely to fit this argument, while a sizable minority in Quebec (47%), Ontario ( 44%), Atlantic Canada (43%), and British Columbia (36%) agree,” Ipsos commented on the Liberal Delegation’s arguments. Politically, most Conservative voters (59%) are on this side of the argument, while a small number of Bloc (44%), NDP (43%) and Liberal (30%) voters also donate.”

This broad base of support for the Liberal Delegation is also enlightening: It is not single-sided, but has drawn sympathy from major political factions. This suggests that resistance to its claims will weaken over time.

More details were gathered as Canadian political observers responded to the findings.

“Considering how negative most of MSM has covered the protests, I am amazed that a Global/Ipsos poll says 46% of Cdns speak and 61% of young adults 18-34 speak while they have may disagree with all of the protesters’ tactics, their frustrations are legitimate and deserve sympathy,” commented Toronto Sun columnist Lorrie Goldstein. “It is also proof, as other polls show much less support for the protests, that the answers pollsters receive depends on the questions they ask. pose, this is nothing new.”

Retired journalist Yvonne C. said: “The police state approach will not work if 61% of young people support what the protests symbolize. “The government must see it now! Any heaviness is not going to go well. Remove restrictions. All of them. Now!”

The prime ministers of Alberta and Saskatchewan have made serious concessions on Covid regulations under pressure from the truckers’ strike, while backchannel report out of Ontario suggests that prime minister Doug Ford is about to make an announcement to eliminate vaccine passports.

A brand new secret recording of Ontario Prime Minister Doug Ford reveals he’s maneuvering to give Freedom Convoy protesters a huge victory over vaccine passports, Rebel News report.

To listen:

“We are pulling these passports,” Ford said in leaked video to Rebel News. “We will return to normal. I can’t tell you the exact date, but it will be very soon. I will tell in the next few days. Friday, I will make a statement. Monday, I will give some dates. And we will move forward.”

However, the Canadian prime minister in Ontario earlier on Thursday signaled confrontational actions would be taken against the Freedom Convoy protesters, including blocking all financial and material aid. for the movement.

Ford, the head of Canada’s most populous province, issued the following document statement:

“Today, the Attorney General applied to the Superior Court of Justice for an order pursuant to section 490.8 of the Penal Code prohibiting any person from handling or handling, in any way, any and all both monetary donations are made through Freedom Convoy 2022 and the Adopt-a-Trucker campaign pages on the online fundraising platform GiveSend Go. ”

“This afternoon, the order was issued,” the prime minister said. “It binds any and all parties that own or control these contributions.”

The GiveSendGo campaign for Freedom Convoy 2022 has just ended 8.4 million dollars.

The sudden turn of the Canadian prime minister has the potential to de-escalate a confrontation that once threatened to become an international incident.

The Biden administration on Thursday called on the Canadian government to use its federal powers to “end the blockade of trucks by Canadians protesting the country’s COVID-19 restrictions,” AP report.

Homeland Security Secretary Alejandro Mayorkas and Transportation Secretary Pete Buttigieg discussed the situation with Canadian officials. They urge their Canadian partners to “use Commonwealth powers to resolve this situation at our common border,” the report notes.

Canada’s prime ministers have decided that there is another way to resolve the conflict rather than crush peaceful protest: Comply with reasonable demands to respect human rights.
