To be clear, there has been back to work legislation for railroad workers for decades, in 2022 it was not used. As far as I'm aware it was last used against Canada Post. Though it has been used by the provincial conservative parties quite a few times.
The convoy was not a trucker dispute. After it was over there were tons of trucks left. How many grassroots truckers can afford a month off work and to leave their vehicles? A lot of the trucks were rented or taken without permission from employers. The convoy was denounced by all the trucker and teamster organizations.
They had a mandate to remove the entire government from power and make themselves the government, months after a federal election.
Anyone whose accounts were frozen were literally funding crimes. There was a whole year long investigation, no wrongdoing was found on this. It wasn't "I don't like these guys", the convoy was run by fucking terrorists.
Citation needed. I've never heard anything about this, so if it's true please provide evidence.
