It's about way more than that.   Canada has been slowed to a crawl and people are tired of it.  It's not about the border either.   100% mask mandate, everyone vaccinated mandate, and so much of their industry closed because of other various mandates.  

Oh, they are protesting the bogeyman! Why didn't y'all just say that. Very understandable. Everyone hates the bogeyman!

The trucking industry is the most powerful entity in both countries if they ever organize to legitimately protest something.

So you support any govt telling people that they need vaccine passports in order to do anything?  You support a govt handing out scraps IF they should choose to do so when they control every last aspect of anything?  

That is what this is about.  They're taking away freedoms left and right.  Not only in Canada, but everywhere.   Some choose to accept it (China) and others are tired of it:  Canada, Australia, USA, and a whole list of others. 

Surely you're just trying to provoke a big reaction. I don't for a minute believe you don't know what's going on. It has been a little boring lately, I admit. If not, China is looking like a good place for you to land if being told how to live and what to do is appealing to you instead of being free to make your own decisions and enjoying all life has to offer. 

This is an easy solution, if your ability to earn doesn't depend upon it.  These truck drivers cross the border all the time, hauling goods, including food, between the USA and Canada.  Now they are being told that if they are not vaccinated, even though they are essential, they cannot make their living.  I believe this affects about 1/3 of cross-border truckers.  

The convoy is a visual demonstration that A LOT of Canadians are tired of the lockdowns and mandates.  We want our economies to thrive, not be ground to a halt.  We want to be able to make a living, feed our families and enjoy our lives, without big brother hanging over our heads.  

I would say yes jd&ez is okay with all the government mandates.....aka control.   If there is a boogeyman I would say its all the BS we've been told about covid.........from shut downs, mask, vaccines.  

Support from me!   I also want the mandates to end because I want to come to Canada to hunt soon! I won't get the shot to be able to come though, and I don't have enough time in my life to quarantine for 2 weeks per side. 

that's not good

Where and what do you hunt up here?  My hubby and a friend raise whitetails and are setting up a preserve to hunt on.  But they cannot cross the border to get to the shows down there, so its tough!  At some point, we just have to approach the Vid as Influenza.  If you are vulnerable, stay home, get the annual booster,  wash your hands, etc etc.  

Thank you for your support of the cause!!! 

PS....can we make America AND Canada great again?!?!?!

We would like to come hunt geese, a friend of ours guides in Saskatawan and another friend goes up to hunt bears.  If we went to Canada for whitetails it would probably be to Shed hunt. ;)   Although Canadian whitetails are pretty cool too, but we have our own farm for those here. 

So now I should leave the country? 

I thought y'all were against protesting in the streets?  I gues it all depends on who's cheese got moved? And most of the protesters are not truckers. I thought y'all were appalled by that too?

Good thing the internet trolls weren't around when we had the polio vaccine. 

But the bigger picture is that we are in a world wide pandemic. We do have some sacrifices to make. I am vaccinated and boosted.  We went to Belieze last fall. It was a required to show your covid passport to enter. WEe knew that. If we had a problem with it then we would have stayed home. 

I don't particyularly like the masks. The restaurants here that still require masks we just don't go there. We are not setting up a protest in the parking lot though. But if I need to go someplace I will follow their rules. I had to see a lady in apartment complex in Owensboro, Ky last week. I thought the sign on the door said masks for unvaccinated so I went in. The manager stopped me and asked if I had a mask. I said I did in the truck. He said it was required. I said I was vaccinated. He said it didn't matter. I went to the truck and got my mask. They have the freedom to require masks. I have the freedom to chose to complay or go somewhere else. 

Vaccinated and boostered does not protect you from the virus, nor does it stop you from being a carrier and spreading it.  I agree on the points, that if you don't like places who have mask mandates, stay home and don't visit those places.  

We are in a pandemic because of media hype.  It seems to me that the places that have the most cases are the areas who are using mask mandates.  Look at CA, WA and NY.  Let nature take its course.  Wash your hands, stay home if sick, etc etc.  Follow general health guidelines.  

The fact that certain states, cities and countries want you to provide a piece of paper, to be able to travel is what is wrong.  Don't compare this vaccine to polio.  That shot worked, there is no denying it.  This one does not.  And for government entities to require a "passport" showing you received a shot that does not work to travel in a free country is wrong. 

For the people that are for the vaccine and multiple boosters, how will you feel when they tell you that they want a kidney from your body and you have no say?

this is what can happen if we keep giving up you rights of free choice. Or they say that you are too old for cancer treatment. Or it will too costly so you can die no matter your age

Or you get 10 years in jail for being part of a peaceful protest. Which is what on the organizers is being threatened with. Her bail was denied today. She's charged with mischief. Canada is in a really bad place right now. I'm fighting tears and terrified by what is taking place right now here. The government voted in an emergency measures act. Bank accounts can be frozen for donating to the cause.
