Canadian Trucking Alliance condemns protests by unvaccinated truckers

OTTAWA - A federation representing truckers across Canada has denounced a series of planned protests against the federal government’s cross-border travel vaccine mandate, arguing such demonstrations aren’t a safe or effective way of resisting the policy.

The “vast majority” of Canadian trucking industry members are vaccinated, the alliance said, noting the immunization rate among truck drivers is on par with that seen among the general public. “We’re not backing down and we are going to Ottawa,” Tamara Lich, a protest organizer from Medicine Hat, Alta., said in a Facebook Live video posted on Sunday.Organizers describe the vaccine mandate as an example of political overreach resulting in economic harm, arguing the policy hurts small businesses and denies some workers the means to survive.

Some 30,000 trucks roll across the border each day hauling nearly $850 million in freight, according to 2020 figures from the U.S. Bureau of Transportation Statistics.

Your petty lies only work on the weak-minded. You will find that outside of your shrinking little sphere, which is getting smaller by the minute, no one buys your bs. You lose . FreedomConvoy2022 keep on trucking!

Are most of the protesting drivers owners/operators?

They say it's 'not the way' to handle it? Then How? it's 1 person in a truck, they sleep & eat in the truck, and they have been working during this for 2 years. Why vaccinate now? CanadianPM JustinTrudeau

“My Body, my choice. My COVID, your dad’s cancelled cancer surgery hospital bed” is not the coherent manifesto on freedom these people seem to think it is.

Its a freedom rally against JT.

They have an army of supporters. Almost 3 million dollars raised by Canadians who have their backs. Report that.

It's a stupid law to abide by. They have been working this whole f**king time. Why now is it a problem. They rather the stores end up with nothing on the shelves. The drivers spend 95% of the time in the truck and only get out to close the door on the trailer.

Time to fire their asses and hire drivers who want to abide by the law. Don’t need people in these large vehicles on our roads who pick and choose what laws they want to follow! Dangerous!

Why are the names of the Executive and Board members of the Canadian Truckers Alliance only accessible to members on its website? What associations are they afraid of exposing? Hannah_Bananaz can you get to the bottom of this?

Defending the freedom to die of something preventable. I suppose they have nothing better to do but waste fuel.

CharlieAngusNDP Don't all truckers need to be vaccinated going into US as well?

‘You are alone’: The increasingly lonely road of the unvaccinated‘You are alone’: The increasingly lonely road of the unvaccinated. From a Quebec health-care charge to a trucker mandate, costs for the unvaccinated in Canada are rising, pushing them further to the margins of society. I wish it was “left alone”. Not much of an ask really. It’s unfortunate that the overwhelming majority of Canadians don’t see what is wrong with this.

Public outrage over the unvaccinated is driving a crisis in bioethics | CBC NewsThe pandemic has triggered a new debate over what used to be a settled principle of bioethics — that you don't treat patients differently based on past behaviour that may have contributed to their condition. Many of the unvaccinated are mentally ill. There is an article in today's LaPresse about the distress of a father whose adult son is in such a situation. How about we triage by means of who is paying into the system and who is not? This is utter divisive bullshit brought to by, no surprise. Your state funded broadcaster. Every fucking day CBC reports something demonizing the unvaccinated.
