Pierre Poilievre, the newly-minted leader of the Conservative Party of Canada, supported the Freedom Convoy, opposed vaccine mandates, hates the WEF and will destroy Justin Trudeau at the next election.
The 30-mile-long People's Convoy is circling the Washington D.C. Beltway in protest at "unconstitutional" coronavirus restrictions, such as mask and vaccine mandates.
Justin Trudeau has seen his approval ratings plummet amid criticism of his handling of the trucker protests, including bringing in controversial emergency legislation.
New Zealand will lift COVID-19 vaccine mandates and restrictions after the Omicron peak has passed, Jacinda Ardern has said, as protesters occupying the parliament grounds again clashed with police.
In this week's London Calling, the topics are Mexico (which you can enter without being vaccinated), Trudeau's uncertain political future and Jack Reacher's implausibly muscly body, given that he never goes to the gym.
Canadian PM Justin Trudeau has invoked the Emergencies Act to crack down on Freedom Convoy protests, which includes empowering banks to freeze the personal accounts of protestors.

Freedom Convoy protests continue in Canada, France and New Zealand – three countries where extreme responses to Covid have persisted for two years and where the unvaccinated are targeted with harsh restrictions.
Trudeau has boxed himself into a corner with no obvious escape. But as hospitalisations and deaths rise despite vaccines and Omicron, will the shifting of 'the Science' offer him a way out?
The Government of the province of Ontario in Canada has successfully sought a court order to freeze over $8 million U.S. dollars in funds made to the Freedom Convoy on GiveSendGo.
