    Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long

    I hope the crap they use in place of sand on BC’s roads is also protested, ‘cuz 3/4” gravel on the roads is bullshit as it’s thrown back & forth by drivers at other drivers, and then finally cleaning that crap off the roads about mid-June leaves something to be desired.

    Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long

    Yeah, it’s a couple thousand dollars for each truck to get out their factoring in the truckers time and truck maintenance and fuel….so unless these “up to” 150,000 trucks all have loads in ON or QC or MI or IN, etc… to get them where they actually need to go and asked her back to where they came...

    Brookside Alabama Law Enforcement

    In 2020 its officers, who drive unmarked cars and wear uniforms without Brookside insignia, made more arrests for misdemeanors than it has residents? http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Brookside,_Alabama Policing & Ticketing is even listed on their Wiki site… so this isn’t an unknown thing.

    Brookside Alabama Law Enforcement

    The demographic makeup of Brookside, just northwest of Birmingham, is is 71 per cent white, 21 per cent Black and most of the rest Hispanic. It’s a poor town, with less than 10 per cent having a college background, and a median household income well below the state average of $70,000. In 2018...

    Apparently criminals pay no heed to Trudeau's gun ban announcements

    Apparently criminals pay no heed to Trudeau's gun ban announcements? But how can that be? It’s a law, and we all have to follow the laws, right? Maybe another tax will fix this. Perhaps something about Climate Change will solve this gun issue?

    Let’s tear down 24 Sussex — and replace it with something we can be proud of

    This is 150 year old “Heritage” money pit, and I don’t think the current Prime Minister even spent the night there in the last six years though I could be wrong. He and his family reside at the Prime Ministers Cottage Where he ran parliament from single-handedly including all of his breathy...

    I stumbled across this one in the news and it just seems pretty crazy. http://apple.news/AgLRurMxGQQ2NwnPU-FWuVg After reading through the story it doesn’t sound like there’s a whole lot of recourse for anybody…. and there’s always three sides to every story minimum… but where there’s smoke...

    The weird, the wacky and strange news stories

    https://apple.news/A1h14gaIfTvmpxzcAkUtfrw Canada Post workers risk being sent home from work if they wear masks other than ones issued by the corporation, even if their masks are an upgrade in safety. Employees who buy their own N95 masks and bring them to work are being told to switch to...

    Ottawa drops vaccine mandate for its truckers after pressure from industry

    While Canada’s supply chain is typically robust enough to absorb serious hits — Anastakis cites both the initial COVID border closures and the Sept. 11 attacks as the two most recent — he isn’t confident about the immediate future. “It’s not like suddenly Walmart is empty, but it is a kind of...

    Ottawa drops vaccine mandate for its truckers after pressure from industry

    I don’t know, and sometimes it’s easy to confuse evil with stupid when it comes to Gov’t decisions. Was this decision evil or stupid regarding truckers & the vaccine border mandates? About the end of November 2021 was the first I heard of Omicron, and here we are less than two months later and...

    Craik. I didn’t realize. A couple of towns back before you get to Alysbury, on for what for you would be the left-hand side (valley side), In the side valleys from the main valley, are lots of Saskatoon bushes. Got one in our front yard that we planted a few years back and it managed to survive...

    Ottawa drops vaccine mandate for its truckers after pressure from industry

    90% of Canada’s drivers are vaccinated, but 10% unvaccinated is still a big number. The protest you sited was at Pembina ND & not Emerson MB (read between the lines), so that would be regarding the HALF of American drivers that aren’t vaccinated according to be post several posts up in this thread.

    Adapt to canned or frozen fruit & vegetables where shipping times are less of a concern. Same with meat. It’ll be interesting to see the dietary financial shift as a finite grocery budget per household meets the new pricing, and entire swaths of the population slide down a grade in their...

    The Stat’s in post#21 of vaccinated drivers from Canada at about 90%, & the rate for American drivers at about “half” are an eye opener. Yeah…yikes!

    There will be food, but the choice & selection will be limited, & the price will not be pretty. Gardening will come back into vogue for those with the room & skill & knowledge to grow their own. Luckily my Girlfriend has quite the green thumb.
