Ottawa now says all truckers crossing border must be fully vaccinated. Unvaccinated Canadian truckers would be allowed in, but would be subject to quarantine and testing requirements.

Still, trade groups have been calling on the federal government to postpone the Saturday deadline.

The Petroleum Services Association of Canada said the vaccine mandate will "only aggravate things further."Nearly two-thirds of the roughly $21 billion in agri-food imports that Canada receives from the United States each year arrive by truck, according to Sylvain Charlebois, a Dalhousie University professor of food distribution and policy. The reliance on U.S. products is especially high in winter.

"At a time when inflation is already at a record high, Canadians will be the ones paying the price for the Trudeau government's poor policy decisions. Canada's Conservatives will be the voice of Canadians who are being priced out of their own lives in Justin Trudeau's economy," she said in a media statement.

"I won't comply. I will not get the shot in the arm. Who am I really protecting? I'm protecting somebody that lives in long term care. I don't go there … I live in my truck. When I go home, I go home to my husband, who's also a truck driver."

Yes, the previous articles claiming that this was being changed were wrong MUST be vaccinated All truck drivers crossing the border must be fully vaccinated as of Saturday Whether they are Canadian or foreign Feds confirmed yesterday

JustinTrudeau cafreeland why are you wanting prices to go up even more, stop protecting the unvaccinated, fordnation put pressure on stopping this

The true Muslims will fight against the army of Dajjal. This will be the worst war of mankind, and will be the precedent before the return of Esa AS. These are events from Muhammad Qasim's dreams, & many are already calling him the Imam Al-Mahdi.

HedyFry Another misleading CBC headline Policy that all US truckers have to be vaccinated to enter Canda never changed Policy that Canadians cannot be denied entry has never changed Only miscommunication was unvaccinated Cdn truckers entering Canada didnt need to test & quarantine/2

iStandWithTrudeau 👍🇨🇦

I hope all the truckers just get together and protest this. They were perfect for the last 2 years and now suddenly they're not good enough. They should park their trucks and watch the economy crumble. Maybe people will start to respect them and the work they do.

Let’s completely fuck up supply chains.

I thought they reversed this

confidencevote CPC_HQ

Just grind the economy into the ground like a cigarette butt

For anyone who doesn’t realize this is going to cause a food and supply shortage almost instantly I feel for you.

Turdo just can't help himself trying to dictate now our supplies.

Is this a back track on the back track?

Mark my words. As you're scrounging for food on the empty shelves at the grocery store, Justin Trudeau and his family will never miss a tax-payer funded organic meal.

Condoms are for sailors.

But... why? I think everyone should choose to get vaccinated, but it's not like COVID isn't already rampant on both sides of the border. How is this helping? It's obvious how it's harmful.

But it’s all for public health! 🤡

This decision, like most decisions made by the incompetent liberal_party , will devastate the economy and empty the shelves. These restrictions have got to stop.

If you think there have been serious supply chain issues, you ain't seen nothing yet!

This basically means we are going to pay more for everything.

A year too late but good now I guess!

Massive protest inbound. Borders will be blocked

produce aisles will be obliterated by this move

I guess Trudeau got a call from Biden

Excellent! There is NO reason not to get vaccinated.

Why?

Does the left hand know what the right hand is doing?

Your headline and byline contradict in the same tweet

Government is getting stupider day by day!

I understand but the reality is that its just going to punish people who are already dealing with higher prices and shortages in many places. Are we going to scramble for toilet paper? Canned goods? Ppl already short on money w/ closures which means NO WORK

just how much kickback is trudeau receiving from big pharma?

Now we know there is no international supply chain issue. Every clue points to one issue JustinFlation

Here comes toilet paper shortages again lol

Fucking waste of time

Let the “panic buying” begin!

Just what we all need, more expensive basic needs

If this government liberal_party really cared it would have taken proper measures at the border from the onset. They didn't. Here we are. cdnpoli TrudeauRegime Many opportunity but they refused to learn from any variant, wave, lockdown, stay-at-home order, etc.

zrlb08 Bravo!

Well there goes the rest of the supply chain and our economy with it.

Right.

OTTAWA....to let live...

Great way to piss them off more! They wont do nothing right beside complete stop to all truck deliveries across the border causing harm to the economy, cause inflation, great work there government, shame!!

Good, no one should be exempt

That is what needs to happen. Thank you for being a Govt that cares about its citizens

Good god wheres the toilet paper quick i need my fortress of papertude!!! IMA A COMMIN COSTCO!!

I'm glad my prices will skyrocket some more. Thank God we voted liberal!
