GDP is annual, 52 weeks.
if you talk weekly you need to divide by 52.
So what you're saying is that it's even worse. Since it's now 5.2% to 10.4% of GDP that the Convoy was causing.
So in fact, the G&M actually downplayed the actual impact, which contradicts the title.
The 0.1% to 0.2% is the claim made, everything else is the reporter's math.
The source of that is the government wanting to martial-law the truckers so you can guarantee it's an overestimate. So the "0.2% of GDP per week" means "0.2% of weekly GDP" or 0.004% of yearly GDP per week of protest.
