    And they can drive nationally without a vaccine. So it's limited to the Canadian and US border protocols. They are being mostly funded by the US. Someone wants the confusion to become international.

    We should start him off slowly. Locate Australia on a world map.

    I am sort of used to the hate because we had the temerity to take guns away from the terminally stupid and the criminally insane and THEN we legislated responsibility in gun ownership and the worst bit? It worked! There are a LOT on the American right who loathe our collective guts

    It isn't just confusion, unfortunately. The mess at the Detroit/Windsor border is now causing automakers to shut down on both sides - so, effectively, putting people out of work. Restaurants were forced to closed in downtown Ottawa. So its all well and good for the truckers to make their stand, when it impacts people's employment and income, they are making a huge mistake.

    So, the New Zealanders and the Dutch are...protesting against Biden?

    The politically populist mind is a mysterious place, - full of conspiracies and fake news.

    They are fighting their own battles over there which align with our battles against Biden over here... no more progressive authoritarian mandates.

    I can't speak for all Americans but all thru my life I have met very few that really cared or ever even mentioned Australia.. I think the most exposure came from Paul Hogan and his roll in Crocodile Dundee. Sadly it was a career killer :( I think they are more popular with the Chineses and of course their biggest fans, the Aboriginals..

    Australia started out as a penal colony.

    It explains so much.

    and ruin the ecoomy.......that has just started to recover from the pandemic crisis.


    It has become very convoluted.......and the original message is being lost as this is taking on a life of its own.

    and when that happens........ it loses credibility. and becomes negative / thing. that s affecting trade routes , employment........ and the economy.

    The blow back might just be a lot worse than the original concerns.

    HILARIOUS!!! The RWers whose cult leaders are the worst Nazi fascists we've EVER seen in the US, are calling democrats "fascists" to cover and deflect for their cult leaders.

    Biden isn't giving free crqck pipes or free crack pipes to anyone. That is just another in a lonnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnng line of RW bullshit stories.

    Don't you think we have enough trouble in this country without working to add to it with bullshit? What you're doing is the OPPOSITE of patriotic.

    Reports in California that Truckers may block the superbowl and are planning to occupy DC during Bidens state of the Union address.

    They can organize all they want in The Netherlands, where they do not have any kind of compulsionary vaxx things for truckers as far as I know and got a government who will allow people get drunk and dance their hearts out in the club till 1 AM next week. So it seems some people there are just a bunch of flat earth idiots trying to make a point over nothing at all.

    They banned the truck protest in France, if it takes place. They only got a mandate to be vaxxed to enter a pub or something. It doesn't concern truckers at all. And the French police, got a reputation of beating the hell out of people with batons to make them comply to the law. They protest there a lot. So the cops are well trained in beating people, severely.

    And they dragged out over a 100 people in New Zealand who attempted to block roads.

    I can't find a thing about the UK about a protest. A UK where they don't even have a mask mandate. So kind of like the Netherlands it starts to be rather idiotic to protest against something that's not happening.

    So you know...
    It's not going to be a success around the world.

    Most places got anti-corona protests. There is nothing new about it.
    But a convoy protest, not so much. That's really limited to Canada.
