The cross border vaccine mandate for truckers in/out of Canada is now in effect. The U.S. vaccine mandate takes effect on January 22nd.
It will take a few days to see the consequences, but there will be consequences.
Keep in mind, any impact is taking place in a supply chain system that is already tenuous and unstable at best. A small disruption that may have been minimally significant against a fully operational supply chain, is more likely to be a much bigger disruption in a supply chain that is already under a severe amount of demand side stress. Somewhere in the range of 16,000 to 38,000 daily loads are likely to be impacted.
When questioned about this, Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic Leblanc says the trucking industry “has had adequate time to prepare for this.” Keep in mind, the mandate was announced 45 days ago (November 30th). According to the Canadian government, changing the structural rules for all the logistics and commerce in cross border shipping, 45 days is enough notice.

CANADA – […] “I think you probably won’t see that movement … that the government’s looking for,” retail expert Bruce Winder told CTV News Channel on Saturday when asked if the effort will encourage truckers to get vaccinated.
[…] The mandate throws a “major wrench” in the Canadian and North American supply chains, he added, with grocers, food producers, the auto parts industry and building materials among the sectors expected to be most affected.
“I really hope that we’re not at the stage where you see food insecurity, where you’re actually going to grocery stores and there’s nothing on the shelf,” Winder said. “That could be the worst-case scenario.”
Mike Millian, president of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada, told CTV News Channel on Saturday that there were as many 23,000 vacancies at the end of the third quarter of 2021, with his group’s own studies showing that roughly 20 per cent of Canadian truck drivers operating across the border are unvaccinated.
[…] “If we remove a fifth of that workforce, we’re going to see shortages on shelves and we’re going to see inflation of prices, because the cost to bring this stuff here is going to go up.” (read more)
The truth is no one knows how bad the disruption will be. What we do know is that there will be disruption, and there is no infrastructure for a level of rig-switching at the border crossing region that could accommodate changing rigs, drop-offs and/or pick-ups or driver transfers on the scale that is being discussed. The logistics here are a total mess.
Keep your fingers crossed, but prepare for FUBAR.
That’s one of the funniest videos I’ve ever seen. The store owner was outsmarted by a birdbrain.

How about restricting unvaxxed illegals?
The vaccine mandate for truckers entering Canada was dropped last week. Try to keep up.
funny, try searching for the mandate
Statement
January 13, 2022 - Ottawa, ON - Public Health Agency of Canada
Today, the Minister of Health, the Honourable Jean-Yves Duclos, the Minister of Transport, the Honourable Omar Alghabra, and the Minister of Public Safety, the Honourable Marco Mendicino, issued the following statement:
“On November 19, 2021, we announced that as of January 15, 2022, certain categories of travellers who are currently exempt from entry requirements, will only be allowed to enter the country if they are fully vaccinated with one of the vaccines approved for entry into Canada.
These groups include several essential service providers, including truck drivers. Let us be clear: This has not changed. The information shared yesterday was provided in error. Our teams have been in touch with industry representatives to ensure they have the correct information.
A Canadian truck driver who is not fully vaccinated can’t be denied entry into Canada—Canadian citizens, persons registered as Indians under the Indian Act and permanent residents may enter Canada by right.
As announced in November and as we’ve communicated with the industry recently, starting January 15, unvaccinated Canadian truck drivers entering Canada will need to meet requirements for pre-entry, arrival and Day 8 testing, as well as quarantine requirements.
The final decision regarding entry and quarantine is made by a government representative at the port of entry, based on the information presented to them at the time.
Any individual who is symptomatic upon arrival to Canada will be directed to a Public Health Agency of Canada (PHAC) official and will be directed to isolate for 10 days from the time they enter Canada .
As of January 15, 2022, unvaccinated or partially vaccinated foreign national truck drivers, coming to Canada from the US by land, will be directed back to the United States.
To qualify as a fully vaccinated traveller and to enter Canada, foreign national truck drivers must:
have received at least two doses of a vaccine accepted for travel, a mix of two accepted vaccines
or at least one dose of the Janssen/Johnson & Johnson vaccine
have received their second dose at least 14 full days before they enter Canada
For example: if a driver received their second dose anytime on Saturday, January 1, then Sunday, January 16 would be the first day that they would meet the 14-day condition.
Have submitted all required COVID-19 information into ArriveCAN.
The Government of Canada’s response to the COVID-19 pandemic will continue to prioritize the health and safety of Canadians. As vaccination levels, case counts and hospitalization rates evolve, the Government of Canada will continue to consider further targeted measures at the borders—and when to lift or adjust them—to keep Canadians safe.”

Truck Drivers Protest Against Trucker Vaccine Rule at Canada-US Border.
Canada implemented new rules on Jan. 15 that require border agents to turn away unvaccinated U.S. truckers..
January 18, 2022 at 9:43am — Canadian truckers against COVID tyranny blocked the highway entering the US from Canada both ways on Monday.
Yep. Cross border logistics will be severely affected if unvaxed US drivers aren’t allowed in Canuckistan.
This video shows a lot of what’s occuring. @ the 45 second mark, you can see/hear the exchange with a driver and border worker regarding the requirements.
That’s what I thought too. But, it appears they changed their minds - again
Hi.
Maybe if truckers stopped delivering to Ottawa, things may become more sane.

Hordin’, hordin’, hordin’...Rawhide!
If you have not put away a years supply of food over the last two years.........
You may be royally effed.
Camparis - our favorites. If you can get any at the store save the seeds. We have been doing it for years and the yield is fantastic. If you don’t have a garden they will do well in a large planter outside.
Yes! You don’t need to have a half acre or more to successfully container garden. My wife has successfully germinated and grown avocado trees in pots, too. Too bad the cats kept using the pots as litter boxes and killing them. LOL
