Trudeau tweet surfaces from early 2020, shows radical flip in attitude towards truckers

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau once heralded truck drivers for their work during the pandemic before slamming those same truckers for allegedly spewing "hateful rhetoric" during their "Freedom Convoy" protest against a vaccine mandate. 

"While many of us are working from home, there are others who aren’t able to do that - like the truck drivers who are working day and night to make sure our shelves are stocked. So when you can, please #ThankATrucker for everything they’re doing and help them however you can," Trudeau tweeted on March 31, 2020.

Trudeau’s tweet came as the coronavirus was first spreading around the world and Canada implemented lockdowns in an attempt to stop the spread.
