I see your poll and raise you this one https://toronto.citynews.ca/2022/02/12/two-thirds-of-canadia... where 2/3 of canada don't just dislike the protest but hate them so much they want the military to deal with them.


Schrödinger's Canadian: Simultaneously supports the occupation and wants to see it crushed.


Maybe they just enjoy a good martyrdom.



Different demographics. The support is very high in younger cohorts, and elderly want them killed.

Polarized in every way imaginable.


The polls roughly match. About 1 in 4 support the goals and methods, 1 in 4 support the goals but not the methods, and 2 in 4 don't support the goals or methods

24% of 18-34 and 34-55 support the truckers and what they are doing

27%/26% support them but not the way they are doing it

49%/50% think they are completely wrong and need to be stopped regardless

There's no real difference between young and middle age, although over 55s skew significantly to "stop them". Not much difference on income, but educational attainment shows significant skew, with university educated far less likely to support the truckers
