Guest: Grant LaFleche, investigative reporter at The Hamilton Spectator

It was only a year ago the so-called "Freedom Convoy" held a three-week demonstration in Ottawa, later termed an "occupation" by politicians and police. It was a protest that started out fighting against vaccine mandates against truckers, but became a home for all kinds of grievances across the far right political spectrum. But what could have been a galvanizing event for these groups has instead become splintered and many feel it's unlikely a similar event will ever happen again.
