    They are all at it.
    Think of the Huawai issues and the Israeli attempts to infiltrate the governments of the Middle East.
    Those are the high profile ones we seedlings know about.

    agree, how could a government resit, it's cheap, it's easy, and every county has lots of sheep on both sides of every issue

    Great news!
    Although vaccine mitigates Covid symptoms and can prevents death (this is the reason I and my family took it), I have a great respect for this truck drives who in the name of Freedom and Patriotism are willing to endanger their life and the life of their families. Keep fighting!
    Better to die, to be sick or connected to breathing machine
    Than to be slave of stupid vaccine!

    No one has the right to inject anything into you...WW2 made that pretty clear.
    OTOH and IMO, if you refuse a life saving vaccine because of some moral stand which you think will destroy your individual freedoms in all matters and forever, be prepared to pay for days struggling for breath, (I understand it feels like you are drowning) ,resembling a marionette encased in plastic, possibly some organ damage and further costs, and the possibility of long covid for which to date there is no cure since it comes in a huge variety of symptoms.
    and above all, test yourself regularly and stay away from everyone else
    because I am afraid that the world has changed and everyone should look out for each other and accept it.

    LOL! As much as you would want it to be, this is not some YUGE movement. There are around 500 trucks with drivers protesting in Ottawa. With 700,000 total trucks in the country, that's less than 0.1% of Canadian trucks. Not surprising, since 90% of Canadian truckers are already vaccinated.

    Of course, the RW propaganda machine is blowing this out of proportion and tries to make it appear that this is another "silent" majority finally speaking up against oppressive government. In contrast, this is the usual RW small, but VERY loud minority, which is trying to hijack the Canadian trucker protest. Watch for US RW extremist groups infiltrating the protest and use it for political gain.

    BTW: When I look back to Occupy Wall Street, I have a very different memory of the RW reacting to protesters blocking traffic and littering and urinating on the streets.

    If we get 10 truckers to participate in Australia, I'll buy you a virtual beer.

    They are too busy working.

    My point was that not being vaccinated creates more issues than the concept of freedom merits.

    You open a thread about protests in Canada, New Zealand, Holland etc, etc, and wrap it up by blaming Democrats for it.

    The politically populist mind is a mysterious place.

    Trudeau makes no ****ing sense and now people from his own party are calling him out.

    This guy nailed it.



    Canadians are seeing all their peer countries either drop most mandates or set a path to drop ALL mandates and yet there they are...perpetually ****ed with no end in sight with one of the highest vaccination rate in the world.

    LOL.

    What a joke.

    Biden and the left have been all in on mandates. Hello? Florida has been the beacon of sanity through all this.

    I agree....ruining the world's economy and making people suffer with a shortage of goods seems "cutting off your nose to spite your face"...

    Hey, let's ban all mandated vaccines, all vaccines period in the name of "freedom" and see what happens !!! :)

    The RW mind is not mysterious at all, it is actually quite easy to read. They generally HATE places like Canada, Holland, Europe etc, and the foreigners that live in them, except for the RW extremists, who, even at lower numbers than in the US, are still present in those other countries. The US RWers definitely prefer a foreign RW extremist over their own more liberal countrymen, who they see as mortal enemies. Conservative tribalism trumps everything else....

    Both countries have a cross border mandate - and that's what they are protesting in Canada.

    Yes. The trucker protest in Ottawa appears to be more and more like BLM and ANTIFA protests!

    Haven't we learned that the BLM protests and ANTIFA protests were more harm than good?

    Sidenote: That's not to say Canadians should slack off their pressure of their buffoon Prime Minister Trudeau.
