Even if this tiny group of truckers stays home for a day, a month or forever, it won't have any impact on Canada.

Look at the number of truck drivers in Canada (324,000)

Trucking industry in Canada - statistics & facts | Statista

and if you then look at the estimated number of truckers who actually participated in the blockades as outlined in this article

There’s a lot of trucks in Freedom Convoy 2022 — but not nearly the 50,000 they claim | National Post

it becomes rather obvious that the percentage of truckers participating was minute as in the very low single digit percentages.

While this action did a lot of damage to the Canadian (as well as the US economy), it wasn’t an action by the trucking industry. It was an action instigated by extreme right wing factions and it never had the support of the vast majority of Canadians.
