Yes, that rapidly flipped since Reality Honks back was written! Well, many people have been pushed to the point where they have nothing left to lose. That is why they were willing to risk unemployment and the various penalties Turdoo was threatening. I think the truckers and their ilk saw the dangerous of Jan 6 antics (even though it was somewhat staged), and the dangers of a violent path. They're too disciplined for that. I expect the potential next move is that more truckers, who were somewhat unaffected by mandates and uninvolved in the protest, will join them, and a general strike might be organized. Then they'll make the Virtuals feel the pain again. What will Turdoo do then? Hunt them down and force them to work like slaves? Good luck. Canada is a big place. If they want, the truckers can literally grind all countries to a halt simply by refusing to work, even if they don't engage in honk protests in the cities. It's probably an even better strategy. These people are far more capable in the real world. They live in the countryside, they are resourceful, and they have stronger communities. They can feed themselves just fine... of course, we have an ugly historical parrallel for that too (Holodomor). Of course, a massive supply chain crisis might be a more near-term goal of politicians. Klaus Schwab has been filmed virtually salivating at the process through a 'cyber pandemic.' Either way would rapidly crash the economy, usher out liberal democracy in most western nations and usher in “global governance”, technocracy, a Chinese-like social credit system, and “programmable” money (CBDCs) that give corporate ruling elites and intelligence agencies complete control over the population. I'm sure it will continue to get ugly because western politicians have made it clear they have no intention of giving up on the power grab. At least the group that has decided it's not going to go quietly gets larger each day, which means passive resistance gains more and more power. When you have a critical mass that is willing to foreswear modern convenience and go back to old ways of doing things (e.g. junk silver) you don't need to worry as much the problems inherent in a barter economy.

Trudeau will use the Emergency Powers to do whatever it takes to punish these people. They have argued in the Senate that the government has secret information that the leaders of this protest are VERY bad actors. It sounds like the US arguing for an invasion of Iraq.

The economic and detention weapons they have are very probably sufficient to crush descent if the Emergency Powers stand.

Hopefully, the act is denied by the Senate. The government representative looks pretty nervous at this moment because his answers to the questions were poor, and he knows it.
