Sure did. I thought it was a gimmick but I guess he genuinely is that stupid.

If any of you people actually read the articles that were posted, Americans are allowed to cross into the US unvaccinated. Thats why the Canadian truckers are fighting for their rights to enter their own country right now. #TruckerStrong

Your article is from November.

And has nothing to do with the border at all.

They are in their own country.

They just can't enter the US.

And the Canadian government can't do shit about that.

LMAO. You cant even read your own articles. Foreign truckers. US truckers are always welcome in because we at least still have some freedom even though Biden is trying his dammdest (DeSantis 2024). Canadian truckers want to be able to go back into their own country without restrictions. This is a basic right and freedom.

Oh. You aren't even Canadian.

That explains why you have no idea what you are talking about.

I am aware of the somewhat tenuous language surrounding US nationals re-entering the USA without vaccination and the seeming legality of it. I don't see how they'd get into the other country (Canada) without vaccination though, so I find the point moot. Get it?

US Truckers are always welcome in unless they can't get out in the first place.

Be funny if they tried. They'd find out real quick the RCMP don't fuck around.

Not sure how you got that impression. The police in Ottawa look pretty useless right now.

Their chief was even kissing the convoy's ass at first. Now he's whining that they don't have the resources to deal with it.

What are they gonna do, shoot up another fire station?

Truckers are a vital player in the world economy.

What they are not is a vital source of political opinions, primarily considering they are almost certainly the most uneducated occupation that exists.

It's not, though. Even pre-pandemic, there are countless situations in which a Canadian citizen would not be able to return to the country without facing certain restrictions, including every other public health crisis where those returning from high-risk countries were required to quarantine (hence there were like two cases of Ebola on US soil during the 2014 epidemic instead of a number that would have put the public at risk). That's also not a privilege that any other Canadian has had for the entire duration of the pandemic: Prior to vaccines becoming widespread enough to create special exceptions for vaccinated people, everyone entering the country had to have a recent (<72 hours prior) PCR test result and quarantine for 14 days. Anyone without a test and/or without a suitable quarantine plan was required to stay in a designated hotel until they got a negative test result or for the full 14 days.

Truckers have had a special exemption from that requirement (an exemption which I know for a fact would have caused an outbreak here if border screening officers hadn't caught it) because it was felt to be too disruptive to enforce it for them, but now that the vast majority are vaccinated, that's no longer the case and that special privilege is being taken away. That's what these truckers are so butthurt about: No longer being treated like they're special and needing to follow the rules that apply to everyone else. I'm afraid I don't have much sympathy for that.

Heck, for all the whining about "vaccine passports," citizens are already required to present actual passports to get into the country without extra screening or paperwork. Nothing about this concept is unusual; the country has the right to control its borders at any time, let along during the greatest public health crisis in a century.

90% vaccination rate is pretty high though. Higher than the nation's average. They might be smarter than you are giving them credit for.

The ones actually still trucking that is. Not the ones going full Karen.

I expect that's pretty comparable to other fields where vaccination was destined to become required. Nationally, we're at 83.7% of eligible people (5+) vaccinated, so that's not THAT much higher (though that's nearly a 40% reduction in the number of unvaccinated people, because augmenting returns), and the writing has been on the wall for a very long time as far as requiring vaccines to enter the country goes.

Just trying to give credit where it's due.

While the crybaby convoy is going on, most of the truckers are still doing their job and keeping store shelves stocked.

Indeed they are, and that does warrant mention.

Except it was always being lifted even before any convoy was announced.

Alberta has lifted it's restrictions

Again

The only reason Kenny introduced any restrictions to begin with was because the municipalities did an end run around him; his push to make any further restrictions illegal is being met with similar sentiment from the municipalities, who do not like being told that they have no say in their own public health.

Yeah, but facts dont matter. Fox news said they're winning!

90% of the trucking industry is vaccinated.

Last night, Kenney compared the plight of the unvaccinated to the stigma of HIV/AIDS in the 80's

For context, Jason spent his time in the 80's protesting hospitals in San Francisco that were caring for terminal HIV/AIDS patients and demanding that their partners be disallowed form visiting.

I might not agree with Ben Garrison, but is a true artist.

You think every social media post is true? You think that looks like someone who was violently assaulted? Are you aware that social media is the number one source of fake news and false flags? Are you gullible?

Actually am surprised by this. Which makes this whole affair even more pathetic. Just a vocal minority of loud, smoothbrains that aren't going to change shit.

Nuance isn't what you're going for, which was knee-jerk "it's obviously fake"; the opposite, but equally dumb reaction as believing it wholesale.

Don't be a coward, post on your main account.

Did you bother going to the instagram page and viewing the post? bother looking at the other photos? Did you bother taking note there is a literal video of the dude swinging punches? Fuck off, lazy prick.

so 'don't trust the media' and don't trust individuals either, unless they're on your side. and your side is the side doing physical assaults. gotcha.

The small faction of anti-vaxxers at my dad's work (steel fabrication) got let go without pay; many of them lied about getting vaccinated and took advantage of the 2 days paid off work that was offered.

You seem to be going the exact opposite, though. Just because it s social media doesnt mean its fake While every social media post isnt true, that doesnt mean theyre all false

still have a couple homies I argue with on these topics. thankfully we can still be friends, but I find it ridiculous that they tell me 'not to listen to the msm'. dude. I don't care what Fauci thinks, I don't give a fuck what Rand Paul thinks. Apparently they do, and apparently they care what the MSM thinks since they're mimicking exactly one half of it.

They'll agree with EVERYTHING from say, Fox News, and disparage all other sources. I'll willingly CRITICIZE the MSM closer to 'my side', but I'm primarily going to the source - scientists in THEIR PRIMARY FIELD, actual people etc. While they parrot ANYTHING they'll hear...the inability to see this clear contradiction in reason is EMBARRASSING.

Its like when we were told 10,000 NYPD officers would resign. It was 34.
