Contributing sentiments towards policy:

51% : Days later, after Trudeau invoked an emergency measure to bolster support for law enforcement, police moved in to disperse the convoy, arresting nearly 200 people and setting up barricades to prevent them from returning.
50% : "We need to put that funding into social services to help those people, not continue to increase the exorbitant police budget."
40% : Jeffrey Monaghan, associate professor at Carleton University's Institute for Criminology and Criminal Justice, said the police response to the convoy flipped the typical approach to protest policing on its head.
36% : It's often creating a public narrative that attempts to undermine political messages by tasking them as violent, especially when you're talking about Indigenous protesters and Black Lives Matter protests," Monaghan told Al Jazeera.
