It seems to my poor avatar that the threads here have become more extremist than what I saw when I first signed into this gossiproom.
The RightieTighties of America have become more strident, more bizarre in their analogies and comparisons, and have sent their vitriol ----and likely their blood pressure ----off the charts.
I mean by that, here we have a domestic protest by a handful of disgruntled commercial drivers who can't even garner the support of their very own unions and trade association or the vast majority of their fellow drivers,.......AND......occurring in a foreign country. And it being a foreign protest that blocked commerce, and diminished the economy in the United States of America. (Ambassador bridge, Blue Water bridge, et al.)
And for those fringie foreigners we see angry grievance-ridden representatives of America's WhiteyRighties hyperventilating and doing one of their too familiar Screechpaloozas. It's as if America's fringie-right is flailing about in keen search of yet another grievance to get pissed over. Again.
I'll give some examples in a moment, but first, a caveat:
I ain't here to defend the OP. That UK moke has shown a pretty fair facility to trip-up, slap-down, kick-over, and ridicule-off most every fringie WhiteyRightie this gossiproom has been able to muster against him.
No, he needs no help from the likes of me.
So, the rest below are my own personal observations:
Maybe most don't.
So?
Does a fringie sliver of Canada's commercial drivers corp blocking commerce in or out of the country advance Candada's economy?
If you can persuade that such actions are productive to economic growth......well, we'd all love to hear your arguments.

Oh boy! That Reds-in-Our-Beds caterwauling again.
Look, folks, "Communism" ain't what you still think it is. It pretty much died out years ago....Russia quit it, China went Commie-lite, and North Korea is still nutty. So what now? You fear, a Cuban invasion? That VietNam wants another crack at our Agent Orange?
Give it up, guys. You have become an anachronism, a throwback, a has-been. It's as if our Marines still preparing to fight the Black Hawk War of 1832.
Grow up. Crawl out from underneath your bomb-proof elementary desks and get on with the world as it exists today....... not 1954.
