Ukraine saga continues, Canada's Freedom Convoy fever, Identity politics in India's elections
This Friday marks day 15 of a truckers' protest against Covid-19 vaccine rules that has blocked the capital Ottawa and halted traffic across the Ambassador Bridge, where $400 million worth of goods pass every day to and from the United States. The movement has forced work to slow down and stoppages at car factories on the Michigan side of the border. The movement has inspired freedom convoys in France. They've been barred from setting camp in the French capital. Many of the protesters participating in the convoy took part in the Yellow Vest movement. Their attempt to emulate the Canadians comes two months before France's presidential election.
