I read it as one of those nuts who think a chip was injected with the vaccine so Bill Gates can control their mind with 5G.

I have no problem with the vaccine passport. I don't think you should be forced to be vaxxed but I am ok with saying no concerts, restaurants or border crossing without it. I think other covid restrictions are wll past their best before date.
Good you like two classes of Canadians , let’s make it 4 . Native , Québécois , and fully vaccinated all good , unvaccinated no need to apply .

I fought the wars for twelve years. Most of it with radios and computers, some of it with a rifle. Some of it was foolish (Central America), some of it was regrettable but necessary (First Iraq War), and most of it was a deadly-serious and ultimately successful attempt to contain the USSR until its internal problems brought it down. I did so without thought of reward (beyond the paycheck, that is), and I did it for people who fawn at my feet (literally in the case of one drunk German who had been fed by the Berlin Airlift as a child) no less than for people who reviled my very existence.

There are still "wars and rumours of war." I didn't solve the problem of man's inhumanity to man. But I held the line for 12 years.

That's enough for me.

Moosie, I actually enjoy the times you and I speak as one.

The question no ones asked is how safe are our computers in your opinion...

All turdOWe has to do to end the blockades and get people back to work is get off his high horse and remove the mandates as the electorate tells him. That is his job.

Except the "mandates" he has control of are limited AF.

Want the 'better' mandates lifted? Go to the provinces. But these idiots didn't even know about that apparently, or thought the Feds could overrule... surprise, they can't.

They can end federal mandates and that is being asked . But maybe the views of two thirds of Canadians are immaterial.

The border mandates are federal. The provincial ones are mostly put in place at the direction of the feds. So, turdOWE could have them all dropped if he wanted to.
Also it is pointless to lift mandates in some provinces and not others. While it doesn't much matter in province, when dealing with interprovincial trucking it is essential to have the same rules across the country, just like the rest of the trucking regulations. In case you didn't know, as most people don't the NSC number you see on every commercial vehicle stands for National Safety Code.

I shoulda gotten in on this.

"We will turn over EVERY DIME of all donations to the truckers, taking out only the cost to transporting the money to Canada!"*

Deliver it to Vancouver Island. That way you get paid for a nice leisurely cruise through the gulf islands. And get paid for it.

Thousands at Pacific crossing in the greater Vancouver area is like adding an eydropper of water to a 10 gallon bucket. Hardly a majority LOL
