Peterson showed his support Thursday when he posted a tweet in a response to an article by the Toronto Star that said truckers were “flirting with extremists,” the Daily Wire noted.

“Flirting with extremists,” Peterson said Thursday. “Extremists. In Canada. ‘Extremist Canadians.’ It is to laugh.”
He followed up his post noting comments made by the Canadian Prime Minister, that it was only “a few ‘extremist’ Canadians with ‘unacceptable’ views @JustinTrudeau.”

His post included a retweet of several pieces of footage showing the long trucker convoy and supporters cheering them on along the route.
Unvaccinated truckers in Canada must go through a two-week quarantine and COVID-19 test before crossing into Canada from the United States, the outlet noted.
