Leila here. The truckers were not committing any arrestable offences. Police are lazy and prefer not to make arrests when possible. The threat to arrest people for carrying jerrycans on the basis of "aiding and abetting mischief" was very weak and the police rejected it on the basis of it being too much of an administrative headache (this was confirmed by a Canadian journalist)

I think it's a very narrow view of Canadian history. No mention of our labour movement here, which has always been stronger and more vibrant than the US's. It's also too linear with its version of what "success" is. Many diffuse yet real ways that the truckers are shifting things.
