Sometimes people have to see things for themselves to get the message.
The trucker convoy with thousands of people protesting across Canada, and particularly in Ottawa, may have brought home in real-time to the politicians how much people are objecting to mandates and how much they have hurt people.
Now there is a “growing chorus of politicians and health experts” calling for ending extraordinary measures and moving more toward a “learn to live with it” approach. Although they hastily add in the title “not because of the truckers,” because the media is still going to be the media.
📍Ottawa, Canada:
Canadian MP Pierre Poilievre slams PM Justin Trudeau's government for smearing #TruckersForFreedom2022 instead of standing with them:

From the National Post:
“We have let our lives be controlled for the last two years in a significant amount of fear and now we are going to have to change some of that thinking,” Ontario’s top doctor Kieran Moore said in a public address last Thursday.
Moore added, “we can’t eliminate this threat, in fact, we have to learn to live with it.”
Eileen de Villa, medical officer of health for the City of Toronto, similarly said last Friday that residents should gird themselves for a future in which COVID-19 is managed like influenza.
“Some flu seasons are worse than others. We know it has impact on our health-care system, and yes, it does make a number of people sick, unfortunately, and yes, unfortunately some people do lose their lives to it,” she said, adding that Canadians must nevertheless “find ways of balancing other activities of life along with the control measures.”
One of the most notable ones who pushed for early tough restrictions is British Columbia Provincial Health Officer Bonnie Henry. Now she is saying that we have to treat it more like the flu and she’s drawn down quarantine measures.
Alberta and Saskatchewan followed soon after. On Jan 24., even as COVID-19 hospitalization peaked across Saskatchewan, Premier Scott Moe said his government would not be meeting the surge with new restrictions.
“It’s going to remain an ongoing concern for all of us, but we live with other diseases in our communities and province that are also ongoing concerns,” he said.
Now, this was moving in the right direction before the truckers but, with the truckers, we’re seeing more people not being shy about voicing it.
Protests have been taking place across Europe and countries there are also moving toward treating COVID as an endemic illness. Denmark has ended all pandemic restrictions and Spain, Ireland, the U.K., France, and Germany are also moving the “endemic” phase.
What about the U.S.?
A bipartisan group of governors told Joe Biden during their meeting Monday that they wanted to “move beyond the pandemic,” according to Arkansas Republican Governor Asa Hutchinson. He said they wanted to partner with the administration. “[W]e asked the President to help give us clear guidelines on how we can return to a greater state of normality.”
So what was Joe Biden’s response? “We’ve got a way to go on that, in my view, but we’re moving.” In other words, I’m still going to be imposing things on you regardless of the facts or what anyone else is doing.
The answer, if they all agree, should be for all of them to move right around Joe Biden and return to normal in all their states and tell Biden to go pound sand. It’s more than time.
Jam DC with truckers - don’t let anything move on the roads.
2 yrs. To Flatten the curve
.
I’d say we are done here.
Stay though Truckers!
Draconian Change
Mark my words.
These governors are lying. Under our federal system state governors could end the lockdowns and mandates immediately. Biden has already had his nuts cut off by the Supreme Court and these governors have been left swinging out on a limb all by themselves with their tyrannical mandates.
Remember these evil governors in November and vote them out of office.
Sure. Right.

Two words for the spineless (or other word of your choice) governors who are afraid to buck the system: “state’s rights”
I suspect that the reason is that they don’t want a convoy in the US because then people would realize jsut how effective it can be for the people to rise up and make demands of the government.
So instead, they are going to try to beat us to the punch and ease up before we can take action and learn how strong we are.
The problem for them is that we’ve already learned that. Some people might continue to be fooled, but an awful lot won’t, like the kind that keep this country working and fed.
“He said they wanted to partner with the administration. “[W]e asked the President to help give us clear guidelines on how we can return to a greater state of normality.”
“
Why is the Arkansas Governor asking Joe Biden for “clear guidelines” on anything much less something over which Joe Biden has no legitimate or practical authority?
Just do it!
Your the Governor, Not Joe Biden. You don’t need and least of all should not want his advice except given his track record as something to avoid.
The American Constitutional system puts you in command the relevant forces NOT Joe Biden.
“The answer, if they all agree, should be for all of them to move right around Joe Biden and return to normal in all their states and tell Biden to go pound sand. It’s more than time.”
We don’t need to all agree on that, my State has already done it as has many Republican states.
Our Governor couldn’t care less what Joe has to say on the matter because he knows it’s not Joe Biden’s job.
He certainty doesn’t need advice how to do anything from a man with Joe Biden’s history much less current condition.
“Jam DC with truckers - don’t let anything move on the roads.”
I remember Tractorcade...
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Tractorcade
Any governor who asks for “clear guidelines” from a retarded potato who can’t even dress himself is a moron and should resign immediately.
The protest in Canada is now being combined with demands Trudeau step down. That is definitely NOT what this administration wants as then they’re position becomes very weak as if upcoming mid-terms were not enough.
So, as the dominos of tyranny fall in Canada (and they are), watch things suddenly pivot here toward more “normal.”
“Jam DC with truckers - don’t let anything move on the roads.”
That happens every day on I-95 south of DC...
AND THEY THOUGHT THE 19 HR snowstorm shutdown was bad!
Any shutdown should last at least 1 hr more than a Tesla battery lasts!
That’s why when they call for a March 1 convoy, I tell them I’m going to Columbus.
“The answer, if they all agree, should be for all of them to move right around Joe Biden and return to normal in all their states and tell Biden to go pound sand. It’s more than time.”
As much as Asa Hutchinson may hate Trump, he can STILL do what is right for the people in his state (he just doesn’t have to admit that he agrees with Trump, if it’s that important to him).
Stop the food, all of it. If democrats go hungry, the politicians’ hypochondria-humping might subside a little.
An American Free Election Convoy would terrify DC.the Trump boat parades terrified the left enough.the media couldn’t ignore a Trucker shutdown in America.
Because he wants Biden to take the blame (instead of himself) for letting the restrictions go on for so long. Good luck with that...
I noticed that there were no MP’s or any other politicians out supporting the truckers. Not even so-called Conservatives.
