The protests were linked to concerns over personal freedoms and government overreach. Mainly related to COVID-19 mandates and stay at home recommendations.

Supporters saw the movement as a grassroots stand for liberty against government overreach.

*edit the freedom convoy organised 3 years ago in 2022 as pointed out by commenter’s.
