The trucker convoy has come and gone. The bouncy castles have been put away, the hot tubs dismantled, the 18-wheelers towed, the party atmosphere vanished into air, into thin air. They are such stuff as dreams are made of.
The convoy’s main accomplishment was to force the government to show its autocratic hand to the observant and the doubtful. The invoking of the Emergencies (or War Measures) Act was a groundless abuse of power and its hasty withdrawal a sign of an authoritarian government caught with its pants down.
But in the aftermath of the Freedom Convoy’s magnificent display of resolute patriotism and good faith, the federal vaccine mandates it protested remain in place, a finance minister of dubious antecedents bears the fasces, and the administration of a petty and vindictive tyrant is still intact. The partial triumph of the truckers turns out to be a Pyrrhic victory, for it is the truckers who have suffered most.
Our blue-collar benefactors now face the consequences of the scorched-earth policies adopted by the anointed class. Many have lost their rigs. Operating licenses have been revoked. Criminal charges have been laid. Bans on trucker commerce have proliferated. Bankruptcy looms for many. Livelihoods have been demolished. Families have been obliterated. Marriages are bound to collapse. And I suspect that suicides will mount as desperation sees no escape from ruination. In effect, Justin Trudeau declared war on those who kept the goods and services flowing through the ersatz pandemic and who enabled the populace to weather the government-induced travesty. Gratitude is not in the dwindling catalogue of common virtues. The casualties, though hidden by the Soviet-style media, are devastating.

Justin Castreau has turned Canada into a dictatorship.
Just like daddy did to Cuba.
Oh, my Trudeau-gobbling family members and acquaintances are now fully pivoted around to rants like: “If you still support the childish, treasonous temper tantrums of the FluTruxKlan and their false calls for so-called “freedom” instead of denouncing them for what they are, and instead turning your full and undivided attention to the REAL cries for freedom and REAL blood being spilled for it, you are an utterly worthless and reprehensible excuse for a so-called “human being.” Blah blah blah racist blah blah blah fascist blah blah blah white supremacist blah blah blah tRUMP-tard! *not enough eyes to roll to adequately portray my reaction*
Blackface boy is bad but his impact is not much beyond the 38 million he rules over. Brandon however is worse because of the worldwide impact of his screwups.
USA claims a shortage of qualified CDL truck drivers.
Open the borders to truckers from Canada & let them move to the USA.
Many leftists here in the States wish for the same thing.
I wonder if those leftist Hollywood actors are having second thoughts about moving to Canada?
All is being revealed. The Ukraine war is showing us even more truths about those who “lead” us.
Well said.
The Truckers have Time and Trudeau could get the boot and have to call an election the very next vote in Parliament
Just remind them of how Zelensky is staying in his capitol during a shooting war & Trudeau fled his capital because some truckers who spoke mean about him were coming.
Heck Alberta at various times has wanted to secede from Canada and become our 51st. state.
Not sure what to make of that. On one hand Alberta is pretty much the main supplier of gas and oil for all of Canada so there is that. But there would have to be changes in their system of laws and regulations and health care.
Yeah you’re right. They all were going to leave the country when Bush was elected and then they were going to leave when Trump was elected.
Funny how they’re all still hanging around making crappy movies.
You’d think that it would make the Hollywood types humble and appreciate America. I bet that the industry hasn’t done well the past couple of years.
True dat.
Canadians support their overlords. F em. They can live in the Castro hell hole.
And it was all peaceful until the police showed up.
