It was also actually more close to overthrowing the government. Trudeau fled Canada as far as anyone can tell, and the other protestors closed a major bridge leading into the US.
They closed one border bridge, there were 3 more within (iirc) 6 miles open to cross.
In Alberta they closed 1 border crossing?
The bridge was re-opened a day or 2 before the War Measures Act was dropped.
Parliament was supposed to vote on it within a specific time, but they did not, thus it was illegal. Trudeau said they didn't need to because he would end it pretty soon anyhow. And the Media backed him.

Yeah, that was basically how that went down.
