Good thing they’re looking after protecting the rights of all Canadians.

Also not a smart move as now those union guys won’t support their new political party.

I didn't realize that this fight didn't start with truckers. It started with the American right who were just looking for pawns.

So, 25% of the people at the protest are under aged kids, brought there by their parents. Will this turn out like the Branch Davidian Waco siege?

Someone is paying these truckers to do this. Every long haul trucker I know gets paid per the load, so not driving means no pay.

Didn’t the right wing crazies in this country get upset about the economical damage with the BLM protest? Where are they now…oh right.

Yes, that's why the Republicans got so pissed when GoFundMe rejected the donations to the truckers.

Protecting rights? They are actively damaging the right to free transit of goods. They are actively damaging the right of commerce and trade. And for what? The right to infect? The right to worsen national public health emergencies?

BLM didn't block border crossings and transit. These truckers are causing massive amounts of economic damage to both Canadian and American businesses.

Maybe because there isn’t rioting, looting, destruction of buildings, loss of livelihoods? Use you mind for a change.

Instead, there is going be destruction of Canadian American trade, which will cost many more.jobs and livelihoods that a few businesses be destroyed. And, there is no insurance for that. "Use your mind for a change."

Yes, that is exactly the PP's point.
