US anti-vaccine mandate campaigners aim to mimic Canadian convoy tactic

American truckers attract thousands on social media for planned convoy protest to Washington DC

A group of American truckers are seeking to import a Canadian movement to protest against vaccine mandates, with thousands of members on social media pledging to bring the demonstration to Washington DC next month.

In Canada trucker protests have been linked to the far right and caused days of disruption in the capital, Ottawa, as well as in a border town in Alberta.
