Please! Young and old, white and brown, immigrants and Canadians of all races and ethnicities, those that bring the food and thank you notes and leave them on trucks are occupying their city?
DOn't talk about what you don't know. Police that are nice and talking to all the protesters nice to supremacist occupiers? All the pole giving interviews that they escaped totalitarianism to be in a democracy are now occupiers?

Please!

1. They tried that already and the tow truck companies in Ottawa declined to participate in that game.
2. What Canada really needs is for the truck drivers to get back to work, not to have Ottawa streets unblocked, which is a small problem by comparison with nationwide supply chain troubles.

The truckers hold most of the cards here. Time to fold, Trudeau.

The pandemic will never "go away." Covid will always be with us in one form or another.

Get vaccinated and get on with your life.

Good grief morons. You need to get more tuned into the news.

So many countries are doing away with lockdowns..numerous public health authorities have called to end pandemic restrictions. Omicron is such a mild non-event. In fact, there have been calls to end the use of the term pandemic all together and to start using the word endemic.... because covid will be just like the flu.

The forever maskers and forever lockdown idiots are the truly zainy out in far left field people. It is time to use a rational risk based approach for opening society back up. People are just going to have to get used to the fact covid exists. Big whoop.

Not sure I understand what’s happening here. Over 80% of Canadian truckers are vaccinated and working. Lockdowns in Canada expired in January.

What are these bums doing on the street? They should get back to work.

You realize that we don’t really need these truck drivers back to work, as they represent a tiny fraction of them? That supply chain issues were not due to truck drivers, and that those are resolving daily as Omicron cases are falling?

Much like Ottawa, this thread is clearly now occupied by people who have no intention of discussion, they just went to spew memes, hate, and rhetoric.

Consider the fact they are setting up restaurants and bouncy castles. Do these seem to be people who have a legit concern with their freedoms?

Hey. Keep up.

Canada has a public, universal health care system that is pretty much at capacity. Anything but the most life saving surgeries have been postponed. The .01% of people who may get hospitalized Omicron, when the number of people getting Omicron is a huge, then that can overwhelm the system.

So yes, people have to accept the fact that COVID exists, so why is it such a shock that some public health measures like masking, may be a part of life going forward?

By all means if you want to wear a mask, please do so. An N95 version does a nice job of protecting you against whatever the unmasked people are breathing out. Oh, you want me to wear one, too? No.

Anyone spending hours outdoors in Ottawa in February clearly has strong feelings about it.

Also, there’s just not that much spare inventory of goods these days. If I lived in Canada I would be stocking up.

Unvaccinated people are 97 times more likely to die from covid than boosted people are. And are far more likely to be hospitalized and suffer long term health issues from covid. Hospitals are still sick of those sick and dying from covid, whereas you'd be very hard pressed to find someone sick and dying as a result of having to wear a mask or get vaccinated. Your ideas about risk are completely backasswards.

What's zany is saying "screw it" and pointlessly letting hundreds of thousands of people die just so that you can go to Fuddruckers for a crowded unmasked unvaxxed happy hour in the name of freedumb.

It has nothing to do with the truckers. It has to Do with Omicron running rampant through industrial agribusinesses, factories, warehousing, retail, etc. The situation is already improving, but yiu wouldn’t know that because it doesn’t fit your narrative.

Much like the mandates and restrictions are lifting in Canada, depending on health care capacity in the area, much like they did towards summer last year. But that doesn’t fit the narrative either, especially since the mandates are provincially legislated.

Government overreach is a legitimate concern where it matters, but public health emergencies are a really stupid place to suddenly decide that's where the battle needs to happen.
