I do not know how better to emphasize the points other than to be direct and brutally honest. Sometimes you just have to call the baby ugly. The window to prepare for the incoming crisis of our lifetime is now down to two weeks. Hopefully, that is specific enough.
As we have discussed on these pages, the interventionist policies and regulations from the people creating the COVID response (writ large) have been fubar from the beginning. {Go Deep} When they shut down the restaurants and hospitality sector (2020 lockdowns), the advisors and bureaucrats triggered a cascading series of events inside the food supply chain {Go Deep}.
Every policy implementation since then has made matters worse {Go Deep}
Adding to the supply chain and inflation crisis, in about a week the vaccine mandate and subsequent commercial passport means 30,000 cross border truckers are about to get shut down from operating between the United States and Canada.
“70% of the 700 billion in trade between Canada and the US is moved by truck. This will have a dramatic effect on supplies and services reaching their destination and getting in the hands of those who need them. One needs to look no further than the recent UK fuel shortage, where the military had to be brought in to deliver fuel as a result of a lack of truck drivers. We are already seeing shortages, if these shortages reach critical levels on items such as fuel, food, blood, medicine or medical supplies, we will see real long-lasting damage.”
~ Mike Milliam, President of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada
As noted by those following the issue(s) closely:
Starting January 15th, 2022, truckers must show a proof of vaccine to cross the Canada/US borders. Since March 2020, drivers were considered “essential”. They could cross the border without a covid test or the vaccine. Under Biden/Trudeau administration, this is about to change.
22 000 truckers are about to lose their job. But this estimate is from the Canadian Trucking Association. The Private Motor Truck Council of Canada (PMTC) estimated this number closer to 31 000 truckers.
We are looking at a meltdown of the supply chain, or at least some severe disruption.
Get everything you need now. Inflation is about to get real. (read more)
CTH readers are already well versed in the domestic side of this issue {Go Deep}. When you overlay the USMCA aspect and recognize the critical sectors of the North American economy that are reliant upon each other; and when you realize that no one outside of the blue collar crews who have specific expertise in applying commonsense to this equation are talking about it, then you begin to realize what is obviously about to hit, and yet all will claim they never saw it coming.
We have approximately two weeks left. After that, I genuinely do not know what things will look like…. but I do know it will not be good. We are in very uncharted and unstable waters.
Act as if… or be acted upon. Ultimately, this appears to be our choice right now.
If we are wrong, then we will breathe a sigh of relief. However, if we are correct….
….. FUBAR!
AND we have 9 years or so until the planet ends because of Globull Warming.
Amazing graphic. Thanks!
That reminds me of the “for the want of a nail” proverb.

Been prepared for that SHTF moment since Barry the Muslim was installed. But I do believe the Teamsters could Stop it cold if they REFUSED All Deliveries within 100 miles of DC.
Bttt
Butterfly Effect...
Get ready for a canola oil shortage.
I must have sat here and watched that about 40 times.
The truckers will call their bluff. Politicans will fold when big fat cat donors start screaming their bottom lines are getting severely whacked.
Compared to what is going on, Murphy was an optimist.
I agree, and have said so repeatedly, the Teamsters and other Truckers Unions could STOP this cold by REFUSING to enter ANY State that has any type of Vaccine Mandate or vaccine Passport rules in place anywhere in the State.
“I do believe the Teamsters could Stop it cold if they REFUSED All Deliveries within 100 miles of DC.”
It would. Except the unions are special and co-beneficiaries of this agenda. They would be stepping on their own toes so I doubt they will.
Where is Jimmy Hoffa, when you need him?
In my business in SoCal, I am the only one that does what I do, and any customer that asks me or my employee for proof of vaccination in any way, is Immediately FIRED and told to go find someone else. Which they Can’t and they know it.
I DON’T CARE and am close enough to retirement to QUIT today if I had to, and I just might, but I am trying to hold out for 3 more years
“But I do believe the Teamsters could Stop it cold if they REFUSED All Deliveries within 100 miles of DC.”
That is a excellent idea, and maybe throw in a few more snake pits.
Liberal maniacs will demand those of us who prepared for just such a scenario to give up our supplies for the common good where they just lived from day to day and didn’t prepare.
Yep. That’s the formula.
It’ll be a lot worse than the stigma painted on the un-vaxed.
I am self employed and in the same position. But I feel for all those who are not and cannot make it that easy for themselves. I have high admiration for those willing to give up friends, family, careers, and lifestyles to give them the finger of resistance. More need to do this in mass and we can fix this.
