Blocking International boarder crossings is no longer a peaceful protest. It damages our economy and hurts the pocket book of other truckers… who got up and went to work this morning. Those are the truckers I support.

The abortion protesters standing outside the Hospital in the falls every Sat afternoon are peaceful. They hold their signs, and walk the sidewalk.
Really? There is another boarder crossing an hour away from the one that is blocked. They haven't cut off the entire boarder of the country they have simply made it more of an inconvenience.
No different than public sector Garbage workers who block access to a public Dump during a Garbage strike. The law says they have the right to do that even though it endangers the health of people, when rotting Garbage piles up increasing Rat and vermin populations.

It is amazing the hypocrisy that is being demonstrated by our leaders and their supporters.

Apple and oranges. A dump is a worksite. without attendants, it has to close down.

If the Canada Border service people went on strike, that would be analogous.

That would be nuts. I don't want to eat next to un-vaccinated people.

Makes sense. I have been watching packed NFL stadiums and not seen mass graves. This variant is a good one. It’s time.

Garbage pick up workers are not related to the people who man a public dump. When the Garbage drivers go on strike the public dumps are still open.
And the pickup workers block the entrance to the dump to make it impossible for people to drop off their own garbage during a garbage pickup strike.
So it isn't apples to oranges. it is red apples to green apples.
And complete hypocrisy.

There was a previous and real trucker protest that the province shut down very quickly.
So' why did they let this one fester for so long?
Was Dougie listening to his anti vaxxer daughter?

The trucks can still enter through Sarnia, Buffalo or Niagara Falls

Until a protest pops up at those locations.

And why should trucks get rerouted hundreds of km’s away? It affects them.

Doesn't this show it was provincial jurisdiction all along?
So it was Dougie that held up action, not JT?
I think the Ottawa police "insurrection" reaches into the Military.

Trudeau had nobody to send.

Nope. Waiting for days to get your load across the border shuts down factories. They use trucks as their warehouse it is called Just in Time freight

You have a few hours window to get freight there

Windsor is the busiest truck border in the world

A garbage strike does no such thing

They have the right to protest anywhere they want. What they have no right to do is prevent others from moving freely.

The Freedumb Convoy and the railway blockades from last summer are perfect examples of "occupation" as opposed to "protest".

One group's rights do not trump the rights of others.

Canadian charter of rights and freedoms:

Section 2 of the Canadian Charter of Rights and Freedoms guarantees the freedom of expression, freedom of association, and the freedom of peaceful assembly. Protests are a way for people to express themselves for or against decisions made by government or other powerful institutions

your fear of me not injecting myself with poison isn't your liberty, stay home if you're scared
It is not a personal issue. In our society we have appointed medical expert to make rules about medical issues.
If they decide that you must be vaccinated to eat in a restaurant, and the government decrees it, that is the rule everybody must follow.
You are free to suggest another form of government.
