Maybe not so much Canadians but truckers
not even that
most Canadian truckers are vaccinated and their union supports it
the demonstrators are just crazy antivaxxers. Damaging the country. Many of them are not Canadian, and not truckers.
There is nothing unusual about having health checks on people entering one country from another. Canada requires either proof of vaccination, or quarantine.
my Canadian friends in Ottowa strongly object to the crazy antivaxxers, and their crazy felow-travellers, including the ones waving Swastika and Confederate flags.
"Among Canadians over the age of five, 82 per cent are fully vaccinated — one of the highest rates in the world. A recent poll by Abacus Data found that 87 per cent of Ottawa residents want the protesters gone."

Nevertheless someone is driving the trucks (or not)
some of the vehicles blocking the streets are trucks
most are not
crazies seem to prefer pickups
Wow!
UK also has Covid protection requirements for people arriving from other countries. Good thing too.
Remember the Quarantine Hotels?
So what?
It's normal
Antivaxxer crazies have only themselves to blame.
They can stay at home.
Recent UK rule changes:
"Fully vaccinated travellers (two doses) and under-18s no longer need to take a test either before or after they arrive in England, Scotland, Wales or Northern Ireland.
To qualify as vaccinated, non-UK travellers must have received their jabs in a country or territory with "approved proof of vaccination". This now covers most countries in the world, with more - including China - due to join on 11 February.
Unvaccinated travellers still have to show proof of a negative Covid test taken two days before departure.
They must also take a post-arrival PCR test two days after arrival. This must be booked before travelling to the UK and bought privately from a government-approved list of providers.
If this is positive, they need to self-isolate."

Do Canada have the same restrictions as us?
I don't know. Do you think they are under an obligation to copy UK rules?
The US also has some rules. Do you find that surprising?
https://uk.usembassy.gov/visas/u-s-visa-and-travel-faqs/
"Starting December 6, all non-immigrant visa or ESTA air passengers must show a negative COVID-19 test taken no more than 1 day before travel to the United States in addition to being fully-vaccinated. Travelers using an ESTA or non-immigrant visa will be required to be fully vaccinated and to provide proof of this vaccination status prior to boarding an airplane to fly to the United States."
