Canadian lawmakers expressed worry about the economic effects of disruptive demonstrations after the busiest border crossing between the U.S. and Canada became partially blocked by truckers protesting vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 restrictions.

for more than 10 days. The protests have infuriated people who live around downtown, including neighborhoods near Parliament Hill, the seat of the federal government.

Demonstrations have spread to locations on or near the Canadian border, including the Ambassador Bridge, where a protest caused long backups and at one point stopped traffic in both directions. The bridge remains blocked on the road to Canada. François Laporte, the president of Teamsters Canada, which represents over 55,000 drivers, including 15,000 long-haul truck drivers, said the protests do not represent the industry in which 90% of drivers are vaccinated.

“It is time we stopped dividing people, to stop pitting one part of the population against each other,” Lightbound said. “I can’t help but notice that both the tone and actions of my government changed drastically on the eve and during the last election campaign. From a positive and unifying approach a decision was made to wedge, to divide and to stigmatize.”

Conservative Premier Scott Moe said the benefits of providing proof of vaccination to enter businesses such as restaurants no longer outweigh the cost. He said the passport has created deep divisions in the province.

Typical behavior by those who have the power, do not do what is best for everyone, do what is best for themselves.

Poor Canada and US other countries are opening back up lifting mandates just to have these two doubling down. They’re afraid they brain washes their base so bad if they lift the mandates they won’t get votes.

Haul/drag semis w Canadian troop trucks to a lot and chard $50K to recover each cab and trailer. No quarter. CBCOttawa OttawaPolice

jumpintothelake Arrest them. Seize their rigs and melt them down. Call in the airforce.

Seems like truckers are the only ones with enough balls to stand up for freedom. Enough China flu fear, let’s get on with our lives.

Arrest them & confiscate trucks/trailers. No difference between this and barricading tunnels, bridges, highways or any other public right-of-way.
