All these protests and “freedom convoys” cost serious money in days off work, transportation and equipment out of service, and the individuals involved do not appear to especially wealthy. There are people, however, who benefit politically from civil disruptions and internal conflict. So, who’s funding this stuff? Our own UCP? Foreign governments? Who benefits from a trade - inhibiting border blockade, or jamming the nations capital with belligerent rabble rousers and fostering hatred from its residents?

What change have all these protests generated? To me, it appears none, except to fuel animosity and division within our own population. Still, someone, somewhere is getting enough benefit to perpetrate this stuff.
