SHORT TAKES ON THE DRIFTING WRECKAGE – OVERNIGHT:

THE PEOPLE'S REVOLT IS SPREADING:  The truckers' protest in Canada has now been largely broken up, but the memory lingers.  And Americans give their vote of approval.  From Breitbart:   Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has invoked rarely used emergency powers to try to stop truckers who have gathered in the country’s capital of Ottawa to protest government vaccine mandates required for conducting cross border business.  In the United States a poll found that the majority of likely American voters support the truckers — and think a similar protest south of the border is a good idea.  Rasmussen Reports found that 59 percent of respondents support the convoy, including 42 percent who “strongly support” it.  Thirty-three percent of voters oppose the trucker protest against Canada’s COVID-19 restrictions, including 21 percent who “Strongly Oppose” the protest.  I fully expect to see a Canadian-style protest here. It's so very American, and the fact that the truckers have been put down by Prime Minister Justin (tuffy) Trudeau makes them even greater martyrs.
