History

On January 22, 2022, the CTA announced that it “strongly disapproves” of the Freedom Convoy of trucks heading to Ottawa as a protest against COVID-19 vaccine mandates in the industry. Some truckers participating in the protest might be represented by CTA in the trucking industry concerning legislation.^[3]
