Freddie Sayers meets Tim the Canadian trucker.
Press coverage of Ottawa’s trucker convoy has been more focused on confederate flags and far Right factions than the truckers themselves. To get a view from the ground, UnHerd dispatched roving reporter Leila Mechoui to take us on a tour of the city centre. Beaming in from the cabin of his truck, Freddie Sayers spoke to Tim, an unvaccinated trucker-turned-protester. Tim told Freddie what first motivated him to join the convoy and why he still isn’t moving.
Additional reporting by Leila Mechoui @leilamechoui.

TRANSCRIPT

[00:00]
Tim: They put an injunction on us, and we can’t honk our horns for 10 days. Well, as soon as they did that, then the horns honked for about an hour straight.
Freddie Sayers: Hello. And welcome to UnHerd. I’m Freddie Sayers.
The Canadian trucker movement in protest at the COVID mandates started as a Canadian thing and seems to have spread worldwide. There are replica movements going on in places as far afield as Austria and Australia.
Well, the media is covering it kind of strangely! At times it seems very negative. And we’re told there are White supremacist elements within the protests. And other times it doesn’t seem to be covered much at all.
We couldn’t get there ourselves. But happily, we have Leila Mechoui there in Ottawa, in the snow, who is going to give us a bit of a tour and report on what she sees.
Hey, Leila, where are you exactly?
