Jude Groves: Canadians will pay the price for the Liberals playing politics with trucking

Even without the mandate, today we have nearly 23,000 openings for professional drivers and counting — a vacancy rate already at a record high.

Thanks to efforts such as these, the majority of truckers are fully vaccinated. Indeed, the vaccination rates among many Canadian Trucking Alliance members are well above the national average. As we have since the vaccine became available, we will continue to encourage our members to roll up their sleeves. This doesn’t change the incremental impacts of putting our MVPs — our professional drivers — on the bench.

The federal government has snubbed meaningful engagement on this mandate. A consultation paper was posted on Dec. 7 and days later the process was closed to comments. Although the federal government claimed to have engaged with stakeholders, the government clearly still doesn’t understand the severity of the outcome from a policy decision limiting Canadians ability to support bilateral trade or interprovincial mobility.

What a ridiculous statement..Vancouver Sun is consistently getting more a Inquirer like rag..better message be big boys and girls and get vaccinated

Canadians are paying the price for Justin's irresponsible and irrational policies!!! Now he is hiding pretending to be in quarantine as the Truckers arrive in Ottawa. Justin is a coward!!!

erinotoole's adoption of Trumpian tactics and stances, indicate a form of 'white terrorism' with troubling parallels to what is occurring in the US. By supporting the FreedomConvoy2022 and its many fringe apparitions, CPC_HQ will be held accountable for what occurs next

Those who donated to the trucker’s gofundme have already paid a price.

I’m vaxxed and obviously Covid is real. It’s this kind of thing that governments use to push other agendas. Why ArriveCAN? I have a passport. Hopefully police will not enforce restrictions when Covid eases up. We might be there now.

Time for Trudeau to go home!

Weird this article doesn’t mention the USA border restrictions that have went into effect would make it impossible to head south without a vax.

Time to bring in armed forces to provide trucking industry with drivers to keep supplies moving. Thanks for the heads up, Jude.

Nearly half of all Canadians want unvaccinated to pay for hospital care: pollMost Canadians think that, if people who are eligible for COVID-19 vaccines refuse them, then get infected and end up in hospital, they should pay for their hospital stay, says a new poll by Mainstreet Research. As of Jan. 8, 75 per cent of Canadians hospitalized with COVID were unvaccinated, compared to 13 per cent […] Hello massive slippery slope (and I'm fully vaxed). What about those who are overweight and refuse diets? Smokers who refuse to quit? Mentally ill and refuse their medication? Where will this end? Think about it people.
