Episode description

Alan Regan, a radio producer based in Canada, and Ciarán O'Connor, an analyst from the Institute for Strategic Dialogue, join us to examine how a protest by truckers brought Ottawa is a standstill and sparked copycat demonstrations elsewhere. We examine who the groups involved are, what the response from authorities was, and how the truckers involved represented only a small minority of their industry and the wider public.The Explainer is brought to you by The Journal. Providing open access to valuable journalism in Ireland has been the aim of The Journal for a decade. You can contribute to ensure we can keep questioning, investigating, debunking, explaining and informing at www.thejournal.ie/contribute/
