Quote from: Tory Potter on January 30, 2022, 08:03:52 AMSo, if a bunch of hippies pissed on the tomb of the unknown soldier in the US, you would be okay with that. If some "good ole boy parkes a bunch of big rigs infront of your house blacting the neighbourhood with air horns all night and all day, you would be okay with that? I am all in favour of the truckers right to protest, but the desecration on our soldiers who gave their lives to preserve that freedom, crosses the line.
CNN has probably never heard of Canada. What has CNN got to do with anything?

What does she know that you don't?    

The issue is not with the truckers who are exersizing their right to peacefully protest. The issue is with the moronic yahoos poisoning the message with their actions that I have described before. I doubt the CIA is involved, but it would not be the first time they have interferred in Canadian politics. They orchestrated the defeat of the Conservative government in 1963 at the request of President Kennedy.
Maybe those clowns walking around with the American snake flag and the Confederate flag are American infiltrators. They clearly are unaware Canada was allied with the Confederacy. 

Quote from: Possum on January 30, 2022, 07:51:44 AMCNN could not have said it better.

It wasn't CNN. It was the CDS.(Chief of the Defence Staff, General Eyre) who voiced his disgust.
The upshot of this protest is Prime Minister Trudeau's re-election chances just got better. It will have no effect on the public health policies. It will have no effect on the Americans decision to close the border to unvaccinated truckers.

Did you actually think govt would support a protest against them?

First, she is not his ex- wife. They are still very much married. But, you say she donated money to the protest, then you say the government is not supporting them. Which way is it? Please clarify.
This is the best thing to happen to Prime Minister Trudeau's re-election chances.
OTOH, they are free to hold a Freedom rally. They are free to get vaccinated or not. If we had the kind of fascist marxist government they claim, the PPCLI would come in and the protesters would be gone in four hours.But we are a free country and so they are free to protest and take away everybody else's freedom in the city.
I wonder what is going to happen when those big rigs start running out of fuel. They seem to be packed in so tight that nobody will be able to get out to re-fuel. In 18,000 years, som archeaologists will be digging down through the layers of the Ottawa River bed and com across a layer of rusted out, fossilized trucks and wonder what the heck happened here?

So being married to the PM makes her Govt?
Please explain.

Yeah, just like it's working in Bitem' favor.

QuoteOTOH, they are free to hold a Freedom rally. They are free to get vaccinated or not.

No, they are not free, the govt is restricting their Right to work! Why is this so hard to grasp?

The govt is walking a very fine line and knows if they push too hard, they'll have a rebellion on their hands,

Gee, I wonder how the filling stations get their fuel? Did you not think that one through?                  

The Vaccine is currently only required for cross border drivers. Regardless, over 90% of truck drivers are vaccinated.
All of the virologists, immunologists and health care professionals (you know, people who actually know what they are talking about) have advised the government that vaccines, social distancing, masks and hygene, will help to ease the burden on the health care system. They have advised the government to work towards educating everyone to get vaccinated. If people rfuse to get vaccinated, the pandemic will continue. Canada is internationally recognized as having the best response to reducing the health impact of Covid 19. We have one-third the death rate that the United States has. It hasn't been perfect and there were stumbles in the beginning, but the Federal Government and the Provincial governments worked together.
Over looked in this current situation is most of the restrictions have been imposed by Provincial Governments, half of them Conservative. Healthcare is a Provincial responsibilty under the Constitution.

I love how you pick and choose what you claim to be factual. Those numbers are pure bull shit and you knew it when you posted them!
So private carriers don't exist in Canada?

Not here, but the Marxists are trying their damndest to destroy our HC system by all these stupid mandates and demand for free HC.

I remember when my Kaiser bill was 12 bucks a month, Period!

I didn't say anything about private carriers. I'm not sure what you are getting at. If you are driving a transport truck across the US border, you need to be vaccinated. That is both US and Canadian law. That is the Fed's responsibility. Most of the other restrictions are Provincial. Half the Provincial governments administering the restrictions are Conservative governments.
I don't often live by comic books except for the Lone Ranger's creed:
The Lone Ranger's Creed:
http://www.lonerangerfanclub.com/loneranger.html

The moral code upheld by the masked man

"I believe that to have a friend, a man must be one.

That all men are created equal and that everyone has within himself the power to make this a better world.

That God put the firewood there but that every man must gather and light it himself.

In being prepared physically, mentally, and morally to fight when necessary for that which is right.

That a man should make the most of what equipment he has.

That 'This government, of the people, by the people and for the people' shall live always.

That men should live by the rule of what is best for the greatest number.

That sooner or later ... somewhere ... somehow ... we must settle with the world and make payment for what we have taken.

That all things change but truth, and that truth alone, lives on forever.

In my Creator, my country, my fellow man."

Words we could all live by.

And that is the whole point that you can not see. It is, or should be, up to the individual to make that decision, not the government. The government too often sells out to the highest bidder, doubt me, look at all the rule changes that were made to even call this jab a vaccine. You want the jab, take it, do not try to force me.

I don't know about Canada, but here, it is not a law, only Congress can write law.
Now do you see the problem? This is all being done by NGO's, the very people who developed the Jab a decade ahead of the acclaimed disease developed in a lab with their money that didn't exist ten years ago.

Do you ever question the narrative? Follow the money, always follow the money!
Burn that into memory, it'll save you from future headaches.

Quote from: Possum on January 30, 2022, 04:20:17 PMAnd that is the whole point that you can not see. It is, or should be, up to the individual to make that decision, not the government.

The government makes all kinds of decisions for the individual, whether the individual likes it or not. Don't drive impaired, wear a seat belt, get a drivers licence, keep off the grass, always pay your taxes and get vaccinated to cross the border into Canada, obey the laws of the Republic. I have a lot of friends who served in Viet Nam. While most were volunteers, some were drafted. The draftees were not asked if they wanted to join the US military. Maybe these things should be up to the individual, but I don't need to tell you that is not how life works in the real world.

Quote from: Solar on January 30, 2022, 06:52:02 PMI don't know about Canada, but here, it is not a law, only Congress can write law.

Okay, regulation then. In Canada, Parliament authorizes the Ministry to make regulations. Does Congress authorize government departments to make regulations?

NO!!!
They set the law in place, and that's that!

As it has been pointed out to you already, the jab is NOT a law.
