There’s nothing particularly new or special about the “Freedom Convoy” protest taking place in Ottawa, and yet it’s practically all anyone can talk or tweet about. Canada has seen large protests many times before, and even vehicle convoys that fill city streets and relentlessly blast their horns. Protesters have beat effigies of prime ministers and held mock “ public courts ” to try political leaders. Radicals have set up bloody guillotines in front of legislative buildings.
