--- "Canadian truckers, along with concerned citizens all over the country, decided to take action and plan to drive toward the Canadian Parliament with the intention of “shut[ing] down the country until they dissolve parliament...."

The Canadian government has overstepped in an attempt to further the WEF "Covid" war on the middle class.

Canadians NOT experiencing a real "pandemic" except in the sense of authoritarian politics and complicit media.

As of 18 January 2022, ( 31,748 "official" Covid-dead Canadians in two years / 38,239,230 Canadians ) x 100 = 0.083 %

The "official" Johns Hopkins University Coronavirus Resource Center posts odd data, if indeed Covid-19 has killed less that one-tenth of one percent over two years, and yet is acting as if this remains an emergency.

I’d love to see history books teach future generations how the truckers preserved liberty in North America.

(No sarcasm)

Wow! A big chunk of the family I once married into is Canadian, and they’ve been TRYING to get into the USA for decades now, with no luck. (Yeah, it’s a good thing; they’re Socialist parasites.)

Canadians don’t get mad about ANYTHING - so this is HUGH and SERIES! ;)

I came of age in the last 70’s.

This is totally deja vu—fleeing Saigon, high inflation, shortages, now a trucker’s strike.

How soon ‘til we see Sloe Xoe in a cardigan?

I smell a rat. If US truckers wanted to fix this they could just stop delivering to DC. They have been as weak kneed as every other union trade. If that were not teue, they would not have accepted oobamas diesel tax and his green truck policies.

(“Through this pandemic, I’ve watched our government slowly destroy our economy, mental health, and the future stability of this country,”)

And this stupidity is worldwide.

The destruction I mean

Less than 2% of truck drivers are unionized these days.
The old Teamsters domination of the trade was shut down by de-regulation of the 80s.

The Brits have decided to skip all this B.S. and just go back to normal.

US truckers have largely been spared from the vaccine mandates; with supply lines already severely disrupted they don’t want to be viewed as the bad guys.

In other words, they are being “country first”.

Different story north of the 49th.

Our truckers should strike until Biden and Harris resign.

Good luck to them, but all the names of the organizers of this are Anglo. 70%+ of Canadian truck drivers are Sikhs who love Justin Trudeau.

Are they going to participate?

Yesterday there was an article on here about the new program allowing 18 year olds to get CDLs. Some folks were enthusiastic. I’m guessing none of them are too familiar with the average American 18yr old these days. Are there some that are fully capable? Probably. They would be considered unicorns.

Most 18yr olds are more interested in Instagram and Snapchat.

There has been a very steady decline in the number of people that are interested in and qualified to enter the military, become cops or firemen, go into the trades and drive trucks. That was validated by a US Dept of Labor study on the topic. I believe it’s 5% a year decline, since 2014.

Kids today have been fed that all of that kind of work is beneath them. Become an Instagram Influencer and cash checks.

However, one thing the US does have a steady supply of, with more coming.....thousands of Afghan Refugees that could be trained to drive a semi.....given the fact that 2,000,000 or more have come over the border, with more on the way, there are plenty of “non citizens” that would be willing to get trained to drive a tractor trailer.

The elites will still get what they want. They’ll still drive their SUVs and fly in their private jets. The people will suffer, as usual.j

Am I supportive of these actions, but they don’t mean a hill of beans to people like CornPop, Schumer, Pelosi, Trudeau, McConnell, McCarthy, Crenshaw, Cotton, Thune, Romney, Graham, and all the other crooks.

” Thousands of Canadian Truckers to Strike Over Vaccine Mandates... “

I wish they’d do the same over Canada’s filthy gun laws.
