Protesters have surrounded the Canadian Embassy in NYC. USA supports the trucker demonstrations.

Protests outside the Canadian Embassy in New York drew crowds on Tuesday as New Yorkers stated their support for the Canadian truckers' Freedom Convoy that shut down the Ambassador Bridge and gridlocked Ottawa. Truckers have been staging a protest in Ottawa near Parliament Hill for three weeks, and have stated their intention to stay there until vaccine mandates put in place by Trudeau are lifted. The Prime Minister said that under the Emergencies Act his government would move to freeze the funds of those who are protesting, as well as revoke their licenses and insurance. What began as a protest that was opposing mandates specific to their industry has become a global cry for an end to restrictions inspired by the Covid pandemic.
