I support the Canadians. I wish we could get something like that going here, but I highly doubt it because we don't come together on anything really. You ask 10 drivers what color the sky is and you get 11 answers. That said I still support what they are doing and think they have been screwed over by go fund me and judging by the pic that banks put up they are still getting screwed over by thier own government.

"We the People" need to be heard just as damn easy as the friggin BLM, and Antifah idiots n crazies were!!

I remember a lot of people saying it was illegal for protestors to block public roads and that if any of them got hit by a vehicle for being that stupid it was fair game.

Yeah, I remember that too. Guess it didn't apply Here. At least he's an O/O (apparently) with that 'Hood ... he'll move on.

And in case y'all are following the 'US' side of things: Peoples' Convoy.

Be (stay) safe, y'all!

Jake;

I don't know if 'any' of the futile attempts on the U.S. side will ever pan out, but I've linked a few to keep on the 'watch list,' above.

Best to ya!

It is illegal. But I’m also not aware of these Canadian truck drivers looting, starting fires, throwing objects and attacking police but I could be wrong. Also hearing reports of Canadian police seizing fuel that is being brought to the drivers. Don’t remember anything being seized from the rioters here in the us when cities burned. Isn’t that something.

That's all true, but none of it has to do with blocking public roads, which was the complaint back then. Either all protestors have the right to block public roads, or none do.

My family and I are fully vaxxed. But if some guy wants to not get vaxxed why should I care? Just don't go spreading the virus to everyone around you and keep away from us. Other than that the Canadians and whoever else can protest all they want

It has been proven that the vaccine doesn’t stop the spread. Vaccinated individuals are still contagious when they have it. Maybe less than an unvaccinated person better either can spread it.

I fully support the right of human beings to decide for themselves what to do with their own bodies. Nobody can mandate vaccination. But blocking public roads is not good. It is also not a solution, mainly because it punishes a lot of innocent people. We rely on the roads too much, this is today's life. Why do truckers have to park their trucks on those roads? Do they stop being truckers without their trucks? Why not just park at home or at a truck stop, then come and protest as much and as long as they want?

It's not meant to stop the spread, just to reduce the chance of getting severe symptoms in case you do get it. I'm not gonna bother arguing about the vaccine, that poor dead horse has been beaten beyond recognition. But anyway, that's why I said it doesn't matter to me if someone gets the shot or not, just stay away from my kids. Hell I don't even want vaccinated people getting near my kids if I can help it. Be glad with all this craziness is done with
