“Somehow we’ve reached the point where western governments now work for themselves instead of the people.”

What would that look like?

Violating laws regarding crimes against humanity makes me wonder what the punishment would be called “the responsible and necessary thing to do” to those who murdered millions? But I do know what the punishment was the last time this occurred.

In the U.S. just look at both parties for your answer.

“They could cripple the cities within a week if a large percentage of them walk out.”
It will take only a small percentage to do so.
When you run a JIT system it is not very robust.
and will break easily.

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) confirmed that it shut down nearly 40 businesses during its crackdown on Freedom Convoy protesters opposing COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation (MTO) cracked down on peaceful Freedom Convoy protesters who opposed ineffective and unscientific COVID-19 mandates and restrictions.

Other than demonstrating their communist leanings, what do they think they are accomplishing by viciously punishing the innocent?

The Ontario Ministry of Transportation certainly is showing that an intolerant, totalitarian government is to be feared by the hard working people who make the country work.

Trudeau will call in airstrikes if the truckers do anything else

Smart move when there’s a trucker shortage....

They’re shooting themselves in the foot.

They’re hoping it will keep the rest inline

So true, but the problem with truckers and farmers is their independence. There is no organization to provide about a coordinated resistance. The public protest now taking place will hopefully bring about the awareness for such a shut down.

No, they should drive all highways at minimum speeds adding to the transits times for delivery. Refuse any load which has even the slightest rule violated. Get lost often, say the truck was acting strange and park it, etc. You can be fired for not working but not for working too slow.

RCMP: Move your dammed truck!
Trucker: No can do, you seized my plates!

Tough times coming for Canada. You need truckers to transport food and goods. Probably now more than ever.
