The Freedom Convoy is a series of ongoing protests and blockades in Canada against COVID-19 vaccine requirements for truckers to re-enter the country by land introduced by the government of Canada on January 15, 2022. Beginning January 22, hundreds of vehicles formed convoys from several points and traversed Canadian provinces before converging on Ottawa on January 29, 2022, with a rally at Parliament Hill. The vehicular convoys were then joined by thousands of pedestrian protesters. Several offshoot protests have blockaded provincial capitals and border crossings with the United States, causing major economic disruption.

The protests are ongoing as of February 10, 2022, and protesters have stated that they will not leave until all COVID-19 restrictions and mandates have been repealed. Officials have expressed concern about the economic impact of border blockades. On February 11, Ontario Premier Doug Ford declared a State of Emergency, introducing new legal sanctions on the impediment of trade routes, highways, airports, ports, bridges and railways. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and United States President Joe Biden met on February 11 to discuss ending blockades at the border.

In the fall of 2021, both Canada and the United States accommodated unvaccinated cross-border truckers exempting them from COVID-19 vaccine requirements, to prevent exacerbating existing supply chain disruptions. The exemptions for Canadian truckers ended on January 15, 2022, and the United States exemption ended on January 22, 2022. Of the 120,000 Canadian licensed truck drivers who regularly serve cross-border routes, approximately 85 per cent were already vaccinated against COVID-19 by January. An estimated 12,000 to 16,000 of these Canadian truckers who are unvaccinated will not be able to work cross-border routes but they can continue to run routes within Canada, as these new mandates do not impact domestic trucking.
