A convoy of trucks driving below the speed limit caused traffic delays between Brunette Ave. and the east end of the Port Mann Bridge this morning. 

The sight of trucks in large numbers is emblematic of anti-pandemic mandate protests, but many are speculating that this slow rolling group of trucks is protesting gas prices and not the pandemic. 

The convoy’s official message is unclear.

There was going to be a large protest at the B.C. legislature this weekend, which didn’t end up happening. Trucks made it to Victoria on Saturday but were dispersed by the afternoon. 

Comments on Twitter range from confused to angry.

Several people tweeted that the idea of protesting gas prices, by driving and using gas was absurd.

Traffic is clear now.
