Trucker protest at U.S. border crossing reportedly several kilometres long
- Thread starter B00Mer
- Start date
So uhhh, just to pinpoint the issue, exactly what mandates? And who is "they"?
My guess that the mandate that they started protesting will be the last to be removed. TrueDope can be vindictive like that.
Saskatchewan already did it.. Alberta is working on it..
Trudeau has done only one thing right since he has been Prime Minister.. UNITE the country against him..
He has become a laughing stock to the world..
They are starting to group truckers in the USA that will make Canada’s protest look tiny in comparison
…in short.. hope you bought a lot of food, because you won’t get any shipped to Canada..
They want to lock down sea ports too
I get some people might be scared.. like Flossy. But change is good..

Ottawa resident tired of the trucks honking… well played sir.. well played 
Them Nazi Commie Fascist tyrannical mandates on driving on the right side of the road and stopping at red lights and getting safety inspections!
It's NaziCommieFascist TYRANNY, I tells ya! It's MY truck an' I'll do what I want with it!
At the time, I was one of the many truck owners pushing for inspections. Besides the obvious safety reasons ,it levels the playing field somewhat. However, like everything bureaucraps get their hands on it has become somewhat theatre of the absurd.
I can only speak to BC rules, because I have never hauled anywhere else.
#1 to be a tire cop one does not have to be able to drive a truck or a certified mechanic, but are "trained" to do roadside inspections on commercial vehicles.
#2 These same inexperienced government employees are entitled to determine if a load is secure or not,and can issue fines based on their opinion.
#3 It is a fact that not all government scales in BC read the same weight.
#4 When getting a permit for oversize loads, one speaks to a government employee that supposedly knows the rules. Yet a CVSE enforcer can still give the driver a ticket for no having the right permit.
#5 We have two different rules for drivers. One for 160Km radius from home and over the road. Within the 160 k there is no control or restrictions on driving time, while long haul is severely restricted and monitored. We even use different log boooks.
There is lots more but you should get the idea.
Nope it's the Ottawa police that are going to enforce tyranny
I thought you would be more comical and say the bartender in the SimpsonsGood buddy with Larry and Curly.
