I'm going to leave the truckers out of this because the whole fiasco was co-opted by the People's Party of Canada, a bunch of evangelical wingnuts, racists, white supremacists and Covidiots. There really weren't that many truckers when you consider that Theo Fleury was on FOX News telling people that 50k big rigs and 1.4M supporters would be in attendance. Based on what I saw, there were maybe 5k to 10k people and less than 1k trucks.
You know my MP fully supports and praised this MAGA sponsored group of white supremacists/insurrectionists . I don't think she thought this through as she is not white.
I used to be a trucker and I live in Ottawa and I support vaccination. I can't understand why you get permission to demonstrate but then are allowed to block streets and somehow the cops can't ticket them for blocking roads. I wish they would ticket every truck that blocks a road.
I would settle for those truckers to start using their brains!
Can't wait until there are self-driving trucks that can transport goods without stopping, 24 hours a day, hopefully without getting in the passing lane and without a political agenda.
Freedom: the freedom to spread disease and death. Suitable words are beyond me.
Yes, I want my medical advice to come from medical people.
. . . f-ing memes -- to me, no better than 'fake news'
I can at least appreciate them making their views public.
Whether the US (ATA, Teamsters) or Canada (CTA), a country wide strike would likely be much worse than protest(s).

Posted by bookofmoronsheard that nonsense from the local and Ottawa tantrum convoy at least a dozen times. If you're gonna "overthrow the government", you should at least know which country you're in.

Posted by SnowyOwlSoon the occupiers who feel privileged will realize that privileges are not rights and hopefully leave and go home.
Posted by SnowyOwlIt's easy to believe that you are in the majority when you live in an echo chamber.
Posted by actofdogNinety percent of Canadian truckers are vaccinated so the ''freedom convoy'' is useless and has no end game, plus it is illegal now they only had a two day permit.

Posted by bookofmoronsHopefully we can all agree on this
Posted by bookofmoronspretty much spot on?
Posted by SnowyOwlWhen the weather forecast keeps coming up with Deep Freeze Weather Warnings it is important to maintain a positive mental attitude and a twisted Canadian sense of humour.
