> Canada had a whole convoy that tried to protest but that got stamped out

It was an anti-vax protest [1]. Canada isn't anti vax [2]. The protests were unpopular [3][4].

The convoy didn't go anywhere because it had nowhere to go.

Sure it might have been unpopular and a silly cause. However that didn't stop the government from invoking the emergencies act and cracking down with impunity. There were even cases of finances being frozen.

It was an anti-lockdown protest. Canada continued to have extreme lockdowns well after the vaccine was available.
