It\u0027s not the moment \u0027to lose potentially thousands of truckers on our roads, bringing groceries up from the US and who knows maybe (COVID) rapid test kits,\u0027…

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has resisted industry pressure to delay the mandate since it was first announced in November. On Wednesday Trudeau defended the mandate, saying Canada was “aligned” with the United States, its largest trading partner.Article content

Within the next two weeks, consumers will see “there’s not as many choices on the shelves,” said Dan Einwechter, chairman and chief executive officer of Challenger Motor Freight Inc in Cambridge, Ontario. Canada’s inflation rate hit a 30-year high of 4.8% in December and economists said the vaccine mandate may contribute to keeping prices higher for longer.

dont drive truck. its your freedom

Bernier PPC is the only federal party that supports CDN and fights the violation of civil rights by the CDN govt to control the spread of the virus. The protest from a Jan.15 order by the CDN federal got mandating the COVID vaccine for all cross-border U.S. and Canadian truckers.

It is the beginning of the end of the Liberal Party. The mishandling of that pandemic by forcing people to be vaccinated is contrary to the Canadian charter of rights and freedom.“We can’t afford to lose potentially thousands of truckers bringing groceries up from the U.S,”AB PM

Even if our truckers get what they want it won't matter. This is a global pandemic. Will need to be vaccinated to enter the states on the 22nd anyways as the US has their own mandates.

Dog-whistling populist jumps all over newest populist cause. Who could've seen that coming?

Jason: With the US law, they cannot enter that country unless fully vaccinated So, any Canadian law is not too relevant now.

Not surprise with Kenney Economie First Health after.

Yes men don’t have the character to say no!

to late, show is on the road!

It is not his lane

Best pandemic ever.

Rene_devries Mr Flip Flop, “common sense” tells us not to pause mandates, but to completely abolish any such draconian measure. No measure has worked for a virus no more deadly than the common flu (fact checkers need not apply) Measures = harm. Compliance = Restrictions

Wow, someone has a brain up there🤪

(CNN)Austria's parliament has approved the European Union's strictest Covid-19 vaccine mandate, making it compulsory for the country's residents over the age of 18 to get the shot. The law goes into effect February 1.

Kenny needs a win on anything, he’s clutching at all straws, had his head up his ass these last two years, politically wounded, maybe fatal!
