    So they are disrupting trade between two countries, costing people their jobs, increasing inflation, and hurting their own pocket books as well as inconveniencing millions of others because they are upset at the idea of someone telling them to take the vaccine even though they are ok with taking the vaccine?

    Yeah, stupid people.

    The thing is 90% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated, there's actually zero logistics issue, because those who aren't vaccinated just gets assigned domestic routes. This is basically a made up problem. The trucking companies have came out and said even if the mandates are lifted at the border, they still wouldn't send unvaccinated truckers down south because they would need to be tested constantly and it wastes a lot of time.

    And like people already mentioned, it's the provinces are the ones that deal with restriction, the Federal government have little say in any of it. The protesters don't know what they want, it's big mix bag of unfocused opinions. A lot of them are there because they hate the Libs.

    NINETY percent of Canadian truckers are vaccinated. These morons that are blocking bridges are a crazy small minority here. And in the case of the Detroit/Windsor crossing, most of the people blocking the bridge aren't even truckers. They're just right wing bozos that have nothing better to do than block trade.

    I think the right wing in the US wants to believe that Canada has a similarly sized faction that is opposed to vaccines, mandates etc.. and that just isn't the case. This issue is a complete loser here. The Trudeau government isn't exactly popular right now but these idiots are doing their best to help his approval ratings.

    Gotta admit, I've paid no attention to the Canadian trucker thing before today. But, things are light at work today. Owner-operators have trade organizations. They should be (and probably they are) negotiating a solution with policymakers that will placate the drivers while addressing pandemic concerns.

    I wouldn’t call them stupid if I were you. They’re transporting the very thing that you need and if you cannot get that thing. Who’s the stupid one?

    Will this lead to a fad of trucker movies and TV shows? Can my kids do the honk-honk thing to them and get a response like when I was a kid? Will Evil Knievel make a comeback? Can I get a Dodge Charger with a rebel flag on the roof? Keep on truckin'.
