If these people are an 'insurrection' then BLM protests during which 25++ people died, was 'seditions rebellion'. [1]

The 'truckers convoy' is completely within the normal framework or populist protest, this is not new, it's common. Farmers used to bring in their tractors to do this.

The people at the border were moved. The people in Ottawa are concentrated downtown, mostly not near housing, and I believe the honking has ben curtailed.

They are now camping out and dancing to The Macarena.

In Portland, an entire section of the city was taken over by armed bandits threatening violence, not letting Police or emergency services in, two people died, people's rights were very seriously curtailed. Now that was a hard problem to solve.

At this point we just have a bunch of angry people in trucks downtown, that's mostly it.

It will eventually peter out and they will go home ...
