Protesters in semi-trailer trucks, farm equipment and other vehicles who have blocked all highway lanes at Manitoba's main Canada-US border crossing since Thursday morning have begun letting livestock and medical vehicles through.

All 50 vehicles, which also include snowplows and construction machinery, have blocked off both northbound and southbound lanes on Highway 75, RCMP spokesperson Sgt. Paul Manaigre told CBC News...

As it stands now I count four border crossings blocked.

Coutts in Alberta.

Emerson in Manitoba.

Sarnia and Ambassador Bridge-Windsor in Ontario.

This is serving what purpose, exactly? I mean, other than royally POing motorists in two countries. Now, blocking the southern border - *that* would be helpful.

There should be the freedom to choose COVID vaccination one should not be forced to choose between jobs or jabs like Canadian cross border truckers are now forced.

A lot of these people have had their livelihoods destroyed by the Vax mandate, no more job or future, and now Trudeau won’t even let them collect Unemployment Insurance

police keep telling them to “go home”, but they’ve got nothing to go back to

they got nothing to lose and have been abandoned by everyone - including the Media - so what do they care

they got our attention now, don’t they?

Maybe someone will eventually listen? “The honking will continue until freedom improves?”

If you can’t honk legally and have no choice on vaccines, no choice on living with any freedom then this is the point.

I do agree the southern border is a ___ing sieve but I’m really happy Canadians are fighting back. So far it’s better than what we the people are doing.

Economically we’re feeling more than a pinch in the pocketbook.

That doesn’t sound like something racists and Nazis would do.

The southern border is a mess and the CBC tonight says Brandon is concerned about our northern border.

I am thinking that this is looking very smart. This is turning it into a general strike - no truckers crossing the border - without risk to the vaxxed truckers.

“Hey, I couldn’t get through. The road was blocked.”

Sorry, but I’m really not getting that sentence. Must be the lateness of the hour.

Why would CBC report a story that makes the protesters look human? It really jumps out at you when something is reported that doesn’t promote a narrative. That’s the state of journalism today.

Exactly! You have been warned. Prepare accordingly.
The Truckers should be like Ghandi (someone the “Progressives” recognize). TPTB said he had no reason to complain.

I get that. It’s the blacking of roads I don’t get. It’s a “just for the helluvit” thing or ? I can think of fewer ways to turn the public against you than blocking their roads - a la BLM idiots standing in freeways.
