Everyone was scared that Bolsonaro supporters would take inspiration from the US but instead they got it from Canada. Truckers set up roadblocks in nearly every state and threatened to close the Supreme Court. Still unclear whether it will have any impact. The man himself is still quiet. reuters.com/world/americas/bra

@Janetgunter @Janetgunter Challenging elections is pretty much the big game plan for the foreseeable future. (Sigh.)

Based on what I am reading and hearing from #Brazil quite worried about a Canada-trucker-gillet-jaune scenario supported by rich backers organised on Whatsapp, where the police are *actively helping*. Traffic and services appear paralyzed in many parts. Will it persist? Will the courts do anything? Will it be used as a pretext to declare martial law?

Gringo media really slow to report on a rapidly developing situation.

Recent history tells us police strikes are dangerous moments in Brazil.
