Canadian truckers should be angry at Biden for imposing a useless mandate.

Trudeau should drop the mandate instead of clutching onto it pretending it will save lives. You will actually calm the protestors down and get them to go away.

Nobody here can actually defend the vaccine mandate staying in place (saving 0 lives) which is the cause of this protest in the first place.

LOL. Well that at least is a logical and diabolical plan, I'll give him that. Poor guy.

I can. Since the blockade has already happened, the mandate is now as harmless as it is useless. Now that we're here, this is the problem:

LOL, no. You will embolden the protestors and make them no more willing to go away; in fact, they might be less inclined to do so. Plus, what kind of precedent are you setting for the future?

Get rid of the protestors, then remove the mandates. Do it in conjunction with the US, not in reaction to protestors trying to shut down parts of the country.

You are saying because a restriction / mandate is "harmless" then we should keep it even if it saves 0 lives? Any restriction or mandate that no longer serves its desired purpose should immediately be lifted.

The more Trudeau dug his heels in the more the truckers were emboldened to protest.

If Trudeau wants to keep the mandate so he doesn't look like a fool for reversing it right away then fine. But he dug himself into this mess for absolutely 0 public health gain.

I would be more interested in what people qualified in this area say with regard to whether these do anything or not as opposed to randos screaming their opinions based on political beliefs. If the health people say these are valueless then get rid of them. If you have some sources which show that Canada's health experts are saying these mandates have zero value then post them.

This is an elitist argument, also anyone should be allowed to drive a truck regardless of training.

I am part of the elite so I have to use stuff from the playbook.

Trudeau may invoke Emergencies Act

No, the whole idea of the Castro love child thing is the right wing's way to imply Trudeau's mother is a dirty whore, that's why it even exists. It's the Canadian equivalent of the 'let's go Brandon' thing. Because the right doesn't have the courage to actually say what they mean, so they use code phrases like that and 'Castro's love child'. It gets boring after a while.

Ontario public health recommended removing all restrictions in Ontario:


About the actual trucker vaccine mandate 30 days ago from some other experts:


Anyone else want to defend Trudeau's Trucker vaccine mandate?

You aren't interested at all, you and your ilk have done nothing but been political since the start of the pandemic. You have attempted to silence/smear any expert that has spoken out against government policies, so don't come here and start pretending that you're interested in what anyone outside your political spectrum thinks.

I'm quite happy to slowly start removing vaccine mandates and restrictions. While they did a great job at taking canada from a large majority to a very large majority vaccinated, and undoubtedly saved many lives, as omicron wanes and as two doses are significantly less effective at blocking transmission anyways, the argument also wanes for mandates and restrictions. Among the many types of corporate, provincial, and federal mandates out there, I have no particular objection to the border one because this is a group with a high propensity to spread from one community to another given the nature of their work and think during the peak of the delta wave this would have been great to have in place already. It is only relatively feckless because it is coming so late.

So I want them to come off. But sorry, the anti-vaxxers are last in line in my opinion. If you were too ****ing selfish to book a 15 minute appointment to get vaccinated, sorry, you're going to have to wait until the end of line and be the last restrictions to come off.

Not may has Invoked the emergencies act Wow?

You must be thrilled, Trudeau is doing something exactly as you asked. I appreciate he is indicated a fairly measured, limited and short series of targeted measures. Great job Trudeau!

Hey, I always am impressed with some of the stuff you find to post. I am genuinely interested in how much volume of alt-right internet stuff you have consumed to have the search engines feed you so much stuff. Not my fault you are being as beta and whiny as the right wing cartoon characters in that left/center/right comic that was posted here a few times recently, just look at your posts - they are pretty much all alt-right Twitter junk and the others are you whining like you did here. Why should anyone be particularly interested in what your ilk (to use your term) has to say, other than for entertainment value at this point.

As for the mandates, I have been a member of team let it rip for a while, and I do not see any particular value in doing anything to protect unvaccinated derps at this point, other then ask them to stay at home instead of clogging the hospitals when they get sick and to have their affairs in order, since a higher percentage of them will croak. Whether the mandates worked in the past - well just compare the death and case rates of Canada and the USA, but looking ahead - the mandates were all going to be removed by the spring, so this whole protest is kind of amusing given that.

All the best.

No I never asked for this. I did think when 1000's of folks were dying of Covid it should be considered.

Lets be honest he created this mess that could easily be handled by law enforcement if they would do their job like they did on the Ambassador Bridge.

If he was so worried about money coming in from other countries for nefarious purposes he would shut the The Trudeau Foundation


You would support Trudeau drowning a litter of puppies

Weird, I am not at all interested in the internet stuff you consume.

Not sure how this ends well in any way for Trudeau.

ah yes, of course, Trudeau should absolutely do something and Canadians should blame him for not doing something even though you can’t suggest what he should do but when he does something well it’s the wrong something and Canadians should blame him for doing something and always forever Trudeau is wrong

Nope. I'm saying that because this particular mandate is harmless, we should keep it in the short term, because there is harm to removing it immediately.

That's fine with you? If I thought that was the only reason, I certainly wouldn't think it was fine. But I suspect it has a lot more to do with this:

Agreed. But that doesn't have any impact on whether they should or shouldn't remove it.

Here's my question for you - what's the urgency to remove it? It offers zero benefit. Why not just...

Who's defending it? I know I've been defending the decision not to remove it immediately, but I'm certainly not defending the mandate itself, and I don't think anyone else is either.

I would not expect you to be interested in what I consume as it is not a diet of derpy alt-right messaging. Kind of weird it took you that long to figure it out, but everyone needs to move at their own pace. In the meantime continue to passively consume the fringy stuff you crave (the search engines will help you). Share it and add some spooky prediction style tag lines to it that will always be incorrect in the real world. You instinctively play your role, but its good that you also know your role.

Guess that means this will end relatively fine for him in the end.

All the best.

Lets see 5 premiers do not support him, Civil Liberties Union says no, Sadly I missed Tucker last night but I did watch CTV National and they had some serious questions about his move.

We all know this man can never admit he makes a mistake .

Trudeau is pretty much done after this decision. I just do not see him leading the party into the next election and any dreams of International Posts are gone. (Of course Monteroy will Troll in and say Im betting opposite end of that and never will)

Coutts is now cleared as they finally secured the towing capacity. Alberta has said we do not want your help.

Though Jagmeet will support the vote so the act will stay for 30 days

My take is that anything you say about Trudeau has minimal value since you obsessively go insane about the guy. You saying "he is done" has pretty much no value. Is my instinct to go the opposite of you? Of course, because money, but he has been leader for 3 terms, and I would put anyone in that position as an underdog to be back for number 4. Still, much like the truckers will claim credit for restrictions being lifted in March (which I and others predicted last year and the timeline governments have said for a while before the trucker derp festival) - you can also claim your take on Trudeau is correct if he chooses not to try to get a 4th victory.

If he does run again then I will take a different side of you, much like I said he would gain seats this last time when you kept saying he would lose them. You then tried your silly routine of demanding I say his party would win every seat, and I said - no, he will win a minority with some additional seats. As usual, I was right, but sadly there were no real betting markets on this one.

All the best.

I don't disagree with your position generally but the bolded just has to stop.

So many people, including my 80 year old mom, so want to punish the anti-vax derps for their defiance and the problems they have caused that they simply do not want to let them off the hook now. They want to make these people suffer which is something Macron even admitted to.

The public health issue of the derps is pretty much over in Canada. The derps will get covid and some will die as covid overall wanes heading into the seasonal spring decline, and we are not going to change that.

We need to move past this desire for revenge and follow the science and open up. Mask mandates are silly and useless now. The masks have so little utility versus Omicron and we see that in its spread thru the masked and vaccinated populace. No one argued more for the utility of masks than me but now it is time to let them go.

There is a thing, I feel, where a big percent of population is now clutching to these measure as an irrational crutch. Something they have just come to associate with a feeling of 'at least I am doing something' and gaining some power over a virus that has defied control.

Time to recognize it is all mostly theatre now and irrational and also anti science, and move on.

Indeed, it's classic buyer's remorse

Serious question is why other western governments and media aren't criticising Trudeau when we know if Putin was doing the exact same thing they would be
