Canadian truckers block highway at US border to protest Covid vaccine mandates

Finally some resistance to the government / medical tyranny! Any moment the America despising, open borders loving, wage killing, Davos puppet the US Chamber of Commerce will demand that China Joe the Oppressor issue another unconstitutional executive order to arrest all independent trucks.

“As predicted, Canada’s decision to impose a vaccine mandate on cross-border truckers is making an already bad supply chain situation worse .

Truckers were already in critically short supply, and the mandates are expected to sideline as many as 16,000 drivers who don’t have up-to-date vaccination cards. At a time of year when more than 90 per cent of Canada’s fresh fruits and vegetables come from the United States , grocers told Bloomberg that shelves are already running bare and shipping costs are skyrocketing. The group North American Produce Buyers reported that the cost of getting a truckload of produce from California to Canada is now $9,500, up from an average of $7,000.

Sylvain Charlebois is Canada’s go-to expert on food prices and supply chains. In a column for Postmedia, he warned that whatever benefits incurred by Canada’s rigid adherence to vaccine mandates would be dwarfed by the harms yielded by food shortages and rising prices. “ Public health measures need to be adapted so the food industry can continue to provide Canadians with safe, affordable food for the next few months as we try to cope with Omicron’s wrath ,” he wrote .

The whole thing is a 180 degree turn away from how Ottawa previously addressed pandemic-related supply chain backups : By reducing regulations. National Post reporter Bryan Passifiume noted than when supplies ran critically short in the first weeks of COVID-19, drivers making deliveries into Ontario were exempted from requirements on daily vehicle inspections and the necessity of driving with speed limiters.

One of the continent’s largest trucking firms, Schneider Transport, just announced it is shutting down its Canadian operations. “Despite the dedication and best efforts over many years, Canadian-based operations do not fit within Schneider’s long-term strategic focus,” wrote the company in a statement . Ottawa’s new mandates weren’t specifically cited by Schneider, but it wouldn’t be the craziest thing to assume it played some role in their decision to pull up stakes.”
