To the Canadian truckers

[hadit]

It’s effective when it brings about change.

It will. Truckers around the world are protesting. They hold tremendous power.

 

[Mac-7]

No, I'm not.

Not true, find something else to do.
Getting another job, isn't taking away income.
Preventing you from getting or being hired by another company is taking away income.

They want to work so bad, another job shouldn't be a challenge.

Yep, the latest on bums.

It was in the spring when many of the nation's Republican governors embraced a provocative economic idea. As regular readers may recall, after congressional Democrats approved enhanced unemployment benefits, these GOP officials decided the smart move would be to cut off the extra assistance to the jobless, in the hopes that it would force people back to work faster.

Recently, however, many of those same GOP officials appeared to change their minds — but only for a small part of the population.

Republican officials around the country are testing a creative mechanism to build loyalty with unvaccinated Americans while undermining Biden administration mandates: unemployment benefits.... Florida, Iowa, Kansas and Tennessee have changed their unemployment insurance rules to allow workers who are fired or quit over vaccine mandates to receive benefits.

Ordinarily, Americans who voluntarily give up their jobs aren't eligible for unemployment benefits. But thanks to Republicans in these red states, those who quit their jobs to avoid vaccines can get checks from the government anyway.

In spite of your very creative defense of mandates with fangs, taking away the job of people who do not comply is tyranny of the lowest order

Massive plague, killing millions.


You mean the riots that happened because Police murder 1000 Americans every year?



Actually, let's look at that, Mormon Bob. ( a guy who doesn't believe in masks, but thinks Magic Underwear is totally a thing.) Yes, Covid is a hoax, but Joseph Smith was totally talking to God. Have we found those Nephite cities yet? Well, keep looking!

The reason why Covid was so devastating was that too many people caught it all at the same time. Hospitals were overwhelmed and people were left to die in the corridors because there was no one to treat them. That would have been a lot worse if the blue state governors hadn't bitten the bullet and practiced containment measures.

Covid is not a "routine" flu. It's a lot more deadly. While we lose normally 12,000 people a year to the flu, we have lost 900,000 people in the last two years to Covid.

Other countries took serious action. That's why they don't have the death rates we have.

What plague would that be?...lol

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

Sure we are.
If it were legit.
How is NOT crossing the Canadian-US border affecting or repressing the trucker's livelihood?
Are the carriers forcing them to cross the border?
90% of Canadian truckers make their living inside Canada.
Roughly 10% cross the border, then 10% of them haven't been vaccinated.
So, that's 1% of the entire industry.

If you aren't vaccinated, carriers will give truckers routes in Canada.

If they want to protest something legit, then protest about safe/lack of parking for overnight.
Road conditions.
Access to clean bathrooms.
Carriers pay drivers for loading/unloading time.
Paying drivers for breakdowns for the equipment they don't even own.
Wage theft.
Meal allowance.

They're protesting against big government, not for big government.

Voices of Canadian Industry Call to Action on Border Blockades​

Tuesday February 08, 2022

Hundreds of millions of dollars in cross-border trade, which includes critical supplies and perishable items, are being impacted or lost because of ongoing blockades.

“Canada’s economy is being threatened as thousands of trucks and millions of dollars in cross-border trade that typically go through these entry points every day is being disrupted. Our borders are essential trade arteries that feed businesses and Canadians with essential goods, food, medicine, and critical industrial components that fuel our economy and support our critical infrastructure.”

Ongoing interruptions at Canadian border crossings and on key trade corridors will exacerbate supply chain disruptions.

All levels of government must work together to develop tailored solutions for each unique border crossing in Canada to prevent future disruptions.

“Canada’s trade and transportation infrastructure, which is crucial to the lives of Canadians and their livelihoods, must be protected.”

[Hutch Starskey]

It's ******* hilarious watching you people praise BLM and condemn the truck drivers.

One is an ongoing struggle for equality while the other is a minority of moronic children who cannot function in modern society. Your post leaves no doubt where your head resides.

 

[Mac-7]

They're protesting against big government, not for big government.

Libs have unleashed a tiger and they dont know what to do next

the thread

“Trudeau Govt threatens to prosecute Americans for contributing to Convoy” is evidence of that​

 

[Hutch Starskey]

They made Trudeau skedaddle.

Huh?
To where?
If I were him I’d start pulling the licenses of those blockading the roadways. Clearly violations of the law and licensure violations.

 

[Hutch Starskey]

It will. Truckers around the world are protesting. They hold tremendous power.

Yeah. We’ll see. I think business has far more power.

 

[Wild Bill Kelsoe]

You would just make martyrs of them, too.

But, the question is: does the federal government in Canada have the authority to suspend CDL's, or can only the provinces do that? CDL's are issued by the provinces, not the federal government.

Equality to destroy private property?...lol

 

[hadit]

And you'd see more trucker strikes in more places. Truckers are already among the most regulated and monitored drivers on the road. Pulling their licenses is just another slap in the face. They don't like that.

 

[hadit]

Yeah. We’ll see. I think business has far more power.

How is business going to get their goods to the warehouse, then from the warehouse to the store or to the resident? Trucks is how they do that. Take away the trucks and how do they do it?

 

[bambu.]

The mandate is stupid

the truckers are fighting for common sense but government is having none of it

The truckers and their bloody-minded protesting supporters are ruining Canada, ruining Canada's economy, and terrorising Canadian society.
Blasting horns, preventing people from sleeping, ...no supplies, average Joe could find himself without a job, without money to take home to his family to buy food and firewood, most people are one pay packet away from the street.
"Are we poor now daddy"?
"Yes dear, we have some food left in the pantry...enough for today and tomorrow, but after that we'll be on the street begging. See the truckers and those people with them who are protesting...it's all their fault."

Yes, the truckers breaking the law should have their driving licences cancelled and the registrations of their trucks cancelled.
They caused this horror, so they're the ones who should be on the street begging, not average Joe and his family.

The army has trucks and is very good at disaster relief.
The offending truckers should have their contracts cancelled...and Canadian industry should own its owns trucks, the truckers just driving employees, as in Australia where the Convoy to Canberra was a fizzer because only a few trucks arrived, most truckers not owning their own rigs.

This whole debacle in Canada is because Trudeau didn't jump all over the truckers as soon as they started causing trouble.
Now look what's happened.
All he had to do was invoke "national security" and deploy the military, and if the Governor-General wouldn't approve, sack him/her and appoint a new one with some idea.
Show on tv tanks being fuelled up and starting to roll, soldiers loading their guns, mortars, RPGs, armoured vehicles, and the airforce fuelling up its jets and choppers.

After the cops in Mebourne put up with rioting protesters for 4 days, they shot them with rubber bullets.
There was no 5th day.

Australia, these days, is making Canaduh look like America, by comparison. As far as I know, Australia is the only nation yet that has started building and using Nazi-style concentration camps for their COVID-1984 Untermenschen. There've been rumors and conspiracy theories about it happening here in the U.S., and in some other countries, but Australia, so far, is the only place where it is verifiably happening.

I find it unsurprising that you would look to Australia as an example of how you want anything to be done.

Stop being Fascist pricks over a ******* jab then.

They Chose ELSE. You asked for this. Whats the problem??

And the Fascist wants to kill everyone who doesnt OBEY.

Typical of assholes like this in history

Martyrs for morons. Too funny.
So? I would be calling the provincial leadership to get these trucks cleared up. To and including removal of licensures, arrests and seizure of property.

Derp…
Business will pressure the govt to end this.
