By what measure? GDP? Unemployment? Distribution of wealth? Inflation?

All of the above have been better and worse than they are now, in recent history.

And here's a newsflash, it case you didn't get an education. There ain't much a government can do about the economy. A little fiddling at the edges, a percent or two to the indicators above.

Actually government actions have had an enormous impact on the economy these last two years . Shuddering people’s lively hood tends to do that .

Fact is, 90% are the real truckers and not blocking road and borders but working and theor wannabe truckers and hangar ons are preventive them form making a living and now, when the auto plants lay off or temporarily shutting down, it is not just the people of Ottawa that are going unpaid for a fringe few.
So, exactly what is the federal mandate they are protesting??

WAC Bennet was a great man and opened up BC. JR. wasn't much use nor was anyone after him until Gord Campbell came along and provided a life boat for the working class. Our current clueless dipper is trying to undo all that good and make us into a have not province like the previous dipper leader did.

Ha?
His minster of forests was jailed for taking bribes from forest industry.
His highways minister Flyin Phil Gaglardi was discredited for building highways to his sons properties as well as use of departmental facilities to provide sign material and construction to benefit their properties, and departmental work performed on his private property.
He was not refered to as Wacky Bennet for nothing LOL He was considered a dictator yet they voted him back in 7 times. Kind a like folks shittin on Justine yet voting him back.

Yup. What do you say to the many many truckers that are stuck, losing money and even losing the food they are trying to deliver?
I'll bet they could not care less abiut the principals of the hangers on and non truckers blocking their routes.

Everybody's terribly worried about "the economy" until their side does something economically damaging. Then it's "there are more important things than money." A sentiment with which I agree, as it happens, just I hope not quite so hypocritically (and waaaay less whiny).
