> 90% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated

That's irrelevant. The protest is not against vaccines.

I'm fully vaccinated and have voluntarily received my booster shot, and I would support the convoy if I was Canadian. I also support vaccination and want the highest amount of people to be vaccinated. There's no contradiction there. I want people to get vaccinated, I just don't want people to be forced to get vaccinated.

> Evidence suggests that funding for this protest is in large part foreign

The news has spread to the world and it's currently the most notable example of government vs. anti-mandate disputes.

> most canadian donations are from wealthy business owners,

Most donations, in general, are almost always from wealthy people, for the very obvious reason that they have more money to donate.
