Canada Truck Convoy, what to think about it?

Also, if you have Canadian friends, you’ll know that these are Canadians of all stripes, not right wingers. They are simply done with all the unscientific restrictions.

If Treaudeau lifted mandates (just like Scandinavia), the trucks would be gone a few hours later. Seems pretty simple.

Seems like they’re trying to hold two economies hostage to get their fascist bosses’ way.

Exactly. And if the vast majority are vaccinated what do they care about mandates? Further, I highly doubt these are regular people, and if they are do they know who is funding them? You can’t just stand up now and say “I’m with these folks on one issue.” Sorry, at this point you are complicit with the GOP.

Don't negotiate with terrorists, unless you want these truckers to give examples to other world groups whose ideologies you don't support. Any worthwhile country should be able to protect its borders.

LOL.
These people are Canadian citizens who want the government to listen to them.
Instead, Trudeau has demeaned them, called them names, and refuses to listen or meet with them.
Either they have a government for the people and of the people, or they don't.

And..... IRT your last comment about borders.....Sure would be nice if the US could protect its southern border. Biden sure has screwed that up.

Trudeau is the terrorist. His infantile response to the protesters is disgraceful and the overreach of government should concern every Canadian. The idea that if these truckers are already vaccinated then they shouldn’t care about a federal mandate is simply idiotic.

I’ve come around to it being another, different attempt at a coup, probably with many of the same behind the scenes actors as 1/6. It’s alllll fake. To the extent that it’s real, it’s Republicans being manipulated by other actors.

Read the definition of domestic terrorist. These people don't speak for the majority of Canadians.

I posted that Denmark got rid of all the covid mandates but Canada is standing steadfast about a few truckers getting vaccinated. And that was deleted. Some pp accused me of spreading lies and having an issue with Doug Ford and Trudeau. I don't care about them, I am not Canadian, I have Canadian friends who always speak negatively about them.

Canada still has restrictions in place due to covid. Just exiting a lockdown now, restaurants are open with 50% capacity. You can go to the movies but you can't buy popcorn there and you have to sit with the mask on the whole time.
Can someone explain to me how does it make sense that you can eat in a restaurant with 50% capacity but at the movies with 50% capacity, sitting apart from other people you cannot eat?
Also, DH was just on a flight to Toronto, packed, not a single empty seat, so AirCanada is not subject to the 50% capacity but cafeteria lady at work had to close her business?

That's your problem. The majority of Canadians (whatever they personally feel about the politicians) support vaccine mandates and the restrictions that are currently in place.

They can protest all they want, but blocking a road that is paid for by the taxpayers who would like to use it is going beyond protesting. They have no right to shut down public roads. End of story.

Even in Portland and other cities the protests where hyperlocal and only spanned a few blocks. Road blocked? No problem, hang a right, drive a few blocks, hang a left, and you've gone around it. And even then, the roads were typically only blocked for a few hours. These trucker protests are blocking major border crossings, are halting major highways, meaning in some cases a diversion of 20 or 50 miles, and it's already been going on for weeks. This needs to end.

That is exactly what it is in Ottawa. Tiny nuisance getting around a few streets and that's all there is. On the weekends though thousands of people are there, so a bit more of navigating.

So who are these thousands of people in downtown Ottawa on the weekends?

I am kind of thinking these truckers are right about Canada and mandates, but then YOU go on and say something stupid like Biden sure has screwed up the southern border and you out yourself for an immigrant hater, so yeah. You lose all credibility and become a racist to me.

Ottawa is like NYC but a bit smaller
One thing I learn about canadians lately ( particularly politicians ) is how provincial and unsophisticated they are.

I am mystified how Canadians let’s a few losers like these trucker disrupt the economy. 90% of Canadians are pissed off at these people. Hope they arrest, force vaccinate and seize all their assets use to commit these crimes.
