[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I still can’t figure out why it is so important to Canada to get every last trucker vaccinated, especially now that omicron has mostly run its course. [/quote]

As you can apparently not be bothered to read, this thread or anywhere. It is not about the truckers. It is not about the mandate. The truckers could not enter the US even if they wanted to come back unvaccinated to Canada. The mask mandates they are apparently fighting are decided at provincial level of mandate, not federal, so these people are “protesting” the wrong people to start with.

It is about creating doubt, instability, chaos and buying into their own extreme right wing political agenda. Good people have unfortunately tagged along, thinking it IS about the mandates, but that’s not the real intent. The bulk of the money funding this is not Canadian, and nor are many of the supporters. Anecdotally, the people I know who are strong supporters of the real political cause are all US born living in Canada.

And as far as “running it’s course”, Canada’s health care system is not the US health care system. Where I live, last week the hospital was still at 98% capacity. Not long ago, people from the smaller provinces were being shipped into Ontario for ICU beds (ironically, it’s these provinces who now think it’s time to lift mandates). Even after the peak of a wave, that still means 50% of cases have yet to occur. It doesn’t mean it’s suddenly over. Aside from that, there is still a large backlog of surgeries and medical procedures to be done for people that have waited in lieu of the beds for people who couldn’t bother to get vaccinated. The pressure is still very much on the health care system for normal, healthy people, and that  seems to get lost in the COVID is over messages.  [/quote]
