It helps that the Netherlands is a relatively small country, compared to Canada which is very spread out. Some truckers were only prepared to take a few weeks off, not risking their lives doing it. Whereas with the Dutch, I believe there is much more local community driving things forwards.
Most truckers in Europe are owner operators, same with farmers, lot's of small farms and very few big centralized actors overall. Small independent actors can fight as long as they have the people's support.
Banking is also way more decentralized in Europe thanks to individual countries, with Switzerland, Norway and UK now being outside of the union with their own currencies. All compatible within the union. It's incredibly hard to simply ban something within just one country as all they have to do is to move their stuff to nearest foreign country.
More support for cryptocurrency and barter, as people are generally poorer and more aware of the risks of centralization watching EU grow like cancer every day. Once you get kicked out of society you're not fucked, the black market is incredibly big. Plus that EU's own scheme with illegal immigration has contributed a lot to the black market too with illegals living in parallel societies.
The problem in Canada i it's centralization, and overall people's general trust in their government. Nobody bothered to protest once everything was centralized, it was "just capitalism" plain and simple.

ND and a few other states here in the US are angling for a "centralized" cryptocurrency. Just heard about this yesterday: https://archive.ph/SPpzF
Yea, CBDC will act as a back-end for the banks, replacing SWIFT which is slow, unstable and prone to failures with money mysteriously disappearing with no trace. Tho CBDC will most likely be a smart contract, i.e everything will be put in the same wallet.
With actual cryptocurrency each individual have their own wallet, privacy and full control over their holdings. They will never allow that. And to stop people from using real cryptocurrency they will continue to fuck around with market manipulation, spread a lot of fud, and trick people with "convenience" and "safety" promising that if you lose your life saving you can get it back. You just have to sell your soul to the devil. And people will fall for that.
The Canadians Truckers were basically center-left normies. They have no idea that they would be met with a level of open hostility and violence that they were hit with. The logic was that you protest the government to show your grievance, and they respond. In this case: the government was going to impose mass injections on all truckers regardless of medical or religious objection, and that internal checkpoints would be set up across every province to check status, which would be monitored by digital surveillance. It was an act so pathologically insane and aggressive that the normies jumped up and said: "We should definitely be annoying as fuck about this!"
The government's response was: "Kill yourself. You deserve death. You will be granted nothing in all cases. We will hunt your families. We will break you."
Which, no normie expects everyone to suddenly turn to them and say when they have such a legitimate grievance. They didn't expect every politician, every media outlet, every doctor, every cop, every bureaucrat, every union leader, every pundit, every newspaper, every teacher, every nurse, every academician, to simultaneously respond: "Kill yourself, or we'll do it for you."
The normies discovered the Friend-Enemy Distinction; unaware that although Liberalism is Universalist, Leftists wear Liberalism as a skinsuit to point out that dissent removes you from the moral universe, and thus you are no longer part of moral consideration when they attack you.
All that being said, the Canadian Truckers did push the government to start rolling back most of it's Covid policies, which it never would have done without the protest. The Globalist Vassal State of Canada did suffer a defeat; but the Canadian Truckers have no idea what victory looks like in a protracted war.
I think Canadians were just really unprepared for a real fight. As soon as Trudeau started going for bank accounts people were like uhhh wtf.
