The blockade is appalling. BTW it was also appalling when FN groups blocked Rail routes Like with any protest the people who doe the controversial shit are appalling. I think the real shit's going to happen in the next few days when these guys are forcibly removed.
-
There's a serious possibility that these border disruptions will cause the US to move many jobs away from Canada. Jobs that were never lost due to any Pandemic restrictions. These people are opposed to Canadian Interests, not fighting for them.

The federal government negotiated with the pipeline blockade. I don’t see much of a difference. There has to be a way that you could come to some arrangement where the government doesn’t look like they’re capitulating, but that also addresses the main concern of most of the protesters. All of this needs to happen behind the scenes . Or should have been, but the government is a week behind, because they spent so much time name calling.

What did the Feds give the FN protestors?
I think the Feds and the Provinces should relax restrictions ASAP, but not because people are blocking the border. It should be because it makes sense from a public health perspecting.

Faith Goldy faces possible prosecution

If she doesn't sympathize with White Nationalism, I'm not sure who does. https://www.thecut.com/2018/11/faith-goldy-toronto-white-nationalist-poster-girl.html Let me guess, she was one of the "fine people" protesting the removal of the statue of a Confederate General? ? -
Adolf won one election. JT's won three.

The crisis that Omicron wrought is that so many people got it, causing Labour shortages in all industries, more specifically Healthcare created a temporary crunch. Estimates are that around 4 million people in Ontario were infected. The restrictions were fairly narrow and temporary. The protestors are right, we're all sick of COVID restriction. But their tactics are appalling and will only help the political factions they oppose. That's why JT won't engage with them, he doesn't want to dignify their behaviour with a response. They're not worth the waste of oxygen.
-
Really? because there was an election recently that is evidence of the contrary.

Should it be Candace Bergen?

I'll keep it to bug you. ?

I don't know. I would imagine the EU would require vaccination for truckers.
-
Sure, well the two big countries to remove restrictions are the UK and Denmark. Here is the UK policy. https://www.gov.uk/guidance/travel-to-england-from-another-country-during-coronavirus-covid-19 You still need the PCR test if you're unvaxxed. For Denmark, they still ask if you're vaxxed and if not they want you to get tested and isolate. https://en.coronasmitte.dk/travel-rules/entry-into-denmark-for-residents

And family vacations. Lots of people have been stranded in other countries because they test positive and can't get on a plane.
-
Again, these aren't the restrictions pertaining to Truckers. The biggest question is when JT will stop forcing people to get a $150 PCR test to cross the border. That effects way more people than the 10% of Truckers that don't want to get vaxxed.
-
Well these countries "removing restrictions" still are requiring some sort of vaccination to cross borders. The restrictions most people are upset about are the ones that shut down recreational activities and tell people how many people they can have in their homes. Which is a provincial responsibility.
-
I think I admitted to lazy reading. My bad. I corrected it. That being said, some of these people in Ottawa really think they can remove JT from office.
-
Yeah it's delicate. I wouldn't suggest politicians are doing this because of the protests. No one likes restrictions on a version of this virus that is virtually harmless to all relatively healthy people. I certainly don't. But the numbers show that we're well on the downside of this wave and it infected many millions of Canadians without crippling healthcare beyond the labour shortages it caused. That's what should lead the drive to reduce restriction. Not some Truck drivers funded by Americans having public temper tantrums.
-
Sorry, I thought you were going on about removing him from power, like some of these protestors are. I think JT sees these protests as a problem for the CPC. His base sees these protestors as boars. He likes antagonizing them TBH. His government should relax some travel restrictions. Like needing a negative PCR test. But not because a bunch of truckers are blocking border crossings.
-
Short of a military coupe, how exactly would that be accomplished? He just won an election four months ago.
-
They are a small sliver of the "Trucker" community. And I actually doubt that they're receiving ANY support from the Trucker community.
-
Not sure you're up on the Bible or not, it appears not. But it was the Jewish establishment that had Jesus crucified. The Romans just did it because they asked.
-
Not really. The re-opening plan was announced before these protests started. Lot's of groups were calling for a re-opening. d I've hated the latest round of restrictions as much as anyone. And I think these protestors are knobs. They inspire nothing. They'll do more to help Liberal parties in Canada than effect any change. Also, this protest was "Supposed" to be about a cross-border vaccine mandate for Truckers. These actions do nothing but hurt Truckers.
-
By effecting their income stream now? Sounds pretty dumb to me. I'm sure that Gym Owner or Restaurant owner could give two fucks about some morons blocking the border. Does nothing to actually get things open any quicker. Things have already started opening up.
-
They don't seem to be standing up for auto workers who stand to be laid off this week because of this blockade. Or the Food service workers who may see a supply crunch if this continues. This blockade helps absolutely no one.
-
Trucking was never restricted during the pandemic. No one in that industry lost a job.

I think she's Eastern European. -
Cite some. I don't like any blockades. I'm more talking about things like cancelling Keystone XL.
