No offense to our Australian members, but one of the problems I saw with the anti-Covid19 protests last year and early this year in that country is that the majority of the protests were restricted to Saturdays and Sundays. The Canadian Freedom Convoy, in contrast, rolled right into the capital district and occupied it over a couple of weeks, provoking the government into recognizing it and responding.
The farmers in the Netherlands appear to be planning something similar. If they blockade the downtown government/corporate areas of the major cities in the country on weekdays, they will force the government to respond. Either the government will back down, ruthlessly crush the protest, or some combination of both as happened in Canada.
The Canadian truck protest did not actively blockade the government or any other key economic activity per se, they just parked their trucks in the capital's downtown area and honked, govt paper pushers were still allowed to get to work (at least the minority that weren't "working" form home collecting their paychecks), though it took them an extra 10-15 min to get to work and they had to endure the round the clock honking.
In a way it was a perfect protest, in that it was a large show of force that remained peaceful, positive and festive, with great optics that the rest of the nation could rally behind. Blue collar patriots braving a cold February winter weather in a loud but peaceful and friendly protest! The protesters won when they turned the Canadian flag into their protest symbol. Cops were stopping cars going into Ottawa with Canadian flags, and supporters on the highways were waving the flag. That's when I knew the government lost the fight. As NoMoreTO mentioned as well, the Canadian Truck Protest was largely successful, the stringent vax mandates fell right afterwards due to their action. They directly shook up the government of Alberta and threatened to recall the Premier, which forced him to lift the mandate there, and this started a chain reaction across the country.
It was also, as my Canadian buddy NoMoreTO mentioned, a huge global success in terms of shaking up demoralized, brutalized and silent citizens all over and inspiring protests all around the Western world. They set the tone for the farmers in the Netherlands and beyond.
