So, it looks like the Canadian truckers protest has inspired copycats:
France
New Zealand I believe there was an abortive attempt to get one in Scotland a few days ago.The one in Canada seems to be a genuine working-class protest (even if hi-jacked by dubious elements) against unnecessary measures that would deprive them of earning a living, just like the ones elsewhere by health service workers — unnecessary as even if you’ve been vaccinated three times you can still get and spread the disease. Don’t know about the copy cat ones though, they seem more ideologically motivated.
In the present world situation is very hard to tell which protest is a genuine working-class protest and which is not initiated by conspiracist right wings extremists. It has been scientifically proven that there is not a vaccine that is 100% effective including the previous tested ones, but it has also been proven that spreading the diseases can create more mutations or variants. There are also doctors complaining about the vaccines, they should have studied witchcraft instead of medicine

Emboldened by ruling class support, far-right Freedom Convoy lays siege to Canada’s Parliament
Canada’s Conservative official opposition and much of big business and the corporate media have seized on the “Freedom Convoy”—a far-right protest ostensibly demanding the scrapping of the federal government’s vaccine mandate for cross-border truckers—as a battering ram to shatter all remaining public health measures against COVID-19. This, as Omicron infects, hospitalizes and is now killing Canadians in numbers never before seen in any of the pandemic’s previous four wave
Most of the truckers who are protesting are self-employed truckers, they are not wage earners. There is a high percentage of unemployment among employed drivers due to the recessions and the pandemic, and many of them can not find a job

More than 90% of the truckers are fully vaccinated, the ones protesting is a small percentage of the truckers who oppose vaccinations and are aligned with the right wings groups
I recall the criticism of Black Lives Matter. Its leaders were left-wing. It was financed by foreign funders such as oligarch George Soros. And that it was violent
The silence now of the Flu Trux Klan Freedumb Clownvoy being organised by far-right activists and supported by foreign donations from the US and supported by oligarch, Elon Musk, and the interception of guns being smuggled into Canada.
Anarchist report from New Zealand protest
This is a much better point of view
Right-wing media figure Candace Owens advocated for a US invasion of Canada to support the anti-vaccine “Freedom Convoy” in response to a restrictive crackdown initiated by Justin Trudeau.
“STOP talking about Russia. Send American troops to Canada to deal with the tyrannical reign of Justin Trudeau Castro,” she wrote.

Anti-Trump Republican radio host Joe Walsh warned against treating her as a completely fringe voice on the right.
“Candace Owens isn’t fringe. She’s ignorant & dishonest. But she’s not fringe. If there’s one takeaway from everything I say, it would be this: Candace Owens is not fringe, she’s very much mainstream GOP base these days. And that’s scary,” he wrote on Twitter.
All those right-wing radio figures are just a bunch of lunatics, they should be wearing a straight jacket. They only propagate hate, conspiracy theories, wars and criminal acts. They talk a lot about freedom, but in reality, they support authoritarianism
