On the very first day the protesters rolled into town, anyone without blinkers on would have realized that the political establishment was so disconnected from reality that they completely missed the magnitude and scope of what was to unfold over the coming weeks. Trudeau and his echo chamber had blithely assumed that all Canadians would fall into line with one of the harshest and restrictive set of rules in any major country since the outbreak of the pandemic. What they had entirely missed was everyone in the “flyover” zone, truckers, miners, construction workers, retail employees, all of whom had to grind out a living in an increasingly restrictive physical economy without the possibility of escape to the digital economy where technocrats navigate physical boundaries as though in a computer simulation.
