This is a case where literal ALL TRUCKERS are in on this. If the police arrests them, which they can't get them all, they're shooting themselves in the foot since there will be no one to deliver anything. The police themselves will be ****ing up their own groceries.

And I assume, pardon my lack of knowledge of Canada laws, if someone else, but truckers will try to remove them, they might sue those people and services.

I wouldn't be so haste to proclaim that no-one got sick, but the problem is with the amount of lies from pretty much every single side involved, it is impossible to discern the truth. As such, does it really matter anymore?
Basically everyone for themselves now.

True but you don't exactly hear about tons of truckers rushed to the emergency room due to CoVid. They're either not getting sick or not getting sick enough to stop.

I'm watching a livestream, one of the truckers made the remark that it's funny how everyone is wearing masks and keeping 6 feet away from each other, and they still catch CoVid, but they got hugs gatherings with hugging and dancing and whatnot and nobody is getting sick.

The cops are apparently turning against each other, basically the ones that blindly follow orders and the ones that are like 'yeah, this **** ain't right' and turn in their badges or ignore the truckers.

Kind of hope this happens if arrests start.

Step 1: Get your trucks out there.
Step 2: Get arrested and truck cant be towed.
Step 3: no one is willing to tow.
Step 4: Sue due to the policy that caused the arrest.

They will be getting it from both sides at that point.

I hope they block all the bridges when they leave the trucks behind. Block everything for as long as possible since no one is willing to tow.

Not a bad strategy, really. As long as all parties commit.

From the news reports here, from a variety of stations in the UK (so across the general political spectrum), no one in Ottawa wants them there and they all want them to leave. That's the only solid jist I get.

Maybe I don't get the point of the protest? There's no general loss of freedom, Canadians aren't being detained and tortured for not following the rules (unlike say China) so it all feels like a big excuse to **** some **** up because they can.

As for Covid infections, well no one has reported anything on that, so you can't say for definite there's been none, because probably no one actually knows or has investigated it yet.

[Leo656]

All protests are stupid.

But if a bunch of morons can go smash windows and light fires because some junkie who once tried to shoot a pregnant woman in the stomach died in police custody (and F*ck That Guy Forever, by the way), because he just so happened to have a certain skin color that made him a convenient victim for the media's purposes, then these guys can have their fun too as far as I'm concerned. They have an infinitely better reason to stomp their feet and whine, at least. So good for 'em.

I have the good sense not to live in a country where they put beavers on the f*cking money, so it's no skin off my ass.

Mandates man. The country forcing you to put something in your body that you don't want or else you lose your job and get ostracized from society. You can't even fly out of Canada without your stupid vax papers. These guys are standing up against this two tier society people are trying to create. Plus Canada has been basically under lockdown for two years. It's time to stop.

It's simple. Drop the mandates or the truckers will bring the entire country to a halt. And once they do, other countries will point the finger to Canada's freedoms and will be forced to do the same. The government has had too much fun with the pandemic. All these mandates and restrictions will not end until we stand up as citizens and make them end.

And aside from the news lying as usual, the only people that don't want the truckers there are the tyrants in power and the sheep that don't care because it's not effecting them yet.

Well that’s not strictly true if this Canadian transport union post is anything to go by :

https://teamsters.ca/en/blog/2022/02/07/the-real-enemy-for-truckers-is-covid-19/

The US had set the vaccine mandate for truckers in motion, so Canada followed to be consistent across the border. But the US has rolled their plan back, and Canada hasn't. I am presuming that’s the gist here?

[Coola Yagami]

That union post is a crybaby leftie calling everything he doesn't like 'alt-right' so that link is meaningless.

In other real news, the government is now considering sending their version of CPS to nab any kids at the protest 'for their own safety' despite them having no problem sending police to nab fuel a few days ago in 10 degree weather with the kids still there.

The government literally can't do anything as long as they're peaceful. They keep trying to push and push for violence. They haven't even considered talking to them. They're ****ing corrupt authoritarian cowards.

France is starting their own Freedom Convoy too.

It's the whole being forced to get a vaccine or you lose this that or the other thing. If there's generally no loss of freedom and freedom is an honest choice, then people should be allowed to make their own decisions in what they put in their body.

Whatever happened to "My body, My choice"?

That only exists if you want to get an abortion.

[Leo656]

Yeah, or if you wanna stick needles in your arm. Can't forget that one.

When it's abortion or being a junkie, Libs are all about "My body, my choice." Otherwise it's "What you do affects ALL of us, you selfish piece of sh*t!"

They tend to stomp their feet and roll their eyes and pout whenever confronted with such blatant hypocrisy. Always fun to watch!

[Sumac]

I am not against vaccines in general. Even if they are just mitigating illness and not curing it.
However, I am against separating people into two categories. Not to mention amount of lies and twists everyone and their chair spin around just to achieve whatever result they want.

Don't forget that when person wants to castrate themselves to please their mental illness, it is considered normal. If you try to save said person from irreparably mutilating themselves - you are a Nazi.

French are known for their protests. Gonna be interesting to see how it'll go.

[Coola Yagami]

Nevada just dropped mask mandates. They'll never say it's due to the truckers in Canada though.

[IndigoErth]

I don't care if they want to protest and whatnot, but I wish they'd have decided to congest and block roads around government buildings (or employers?) and make it hard on the people actually making those decisions/demands, instead of negatively impacting people and their own jobs who have no involvement and no control or power over it.

Auto makers are now having to cancel shifts and reduce production due to lack of parts, etc. I see support for it being very short lived if this gets to hitting too many innocent people in the wallet and not the politicians and/or employers who it should be impacting. Could open up an awfully big chasm with fellow blue collar workers if that keeps up long.

Then they can do something about it. Blow up Trudope's phone and demand he drops the mandates. Not tomorrow, not after breakfast, but today.

[IndigoErth]

It isn't their jobs to change it for those truckers. Especially the U.S. Americans whose jobs are being impacted and losing income over it when they're just minding their own lives over here.

There are enough truckers, I'm pretty sure they can blow up the phones themselves. Or go make a big show where it will inconvenience those lawmakers and make it hard for THEM to get to and do their own jobs. Force them to have to sleep at their office or walk past many protestors just trying to get there because they can't get their car anywhere close.
