Trucker protests in Ottawa and the blockade of the Ambassador Bridge in Detroit have pressured Canadian provinces like Alberta and Saskatchewan to begin lifting vaccine passport mandates. Media coverage is criticized for using "propaganda tricks" and labels such as "insurrection" and "sedition" to describe the demonstrations. Officials maintain that policy changes are due to vaccine success rather than the influence of the Freedom Convoy.

Press Secretary Jen Psaki denies that the protests are related to vaccine requirements, asserting that mandates have not caused industry disruptions.
