Canada's Truck Convoy to Protest Mandate

[davethevol]

Paris police warned those taking part they risk a two-year prison sentence, driving ban and hefty fine

This is authoritarian ..Screw these lawless pols.

We are very close to seeing people take up arms. These governments need to listen to the people as if their lives depend on it. Marie Antoinette won’t be a thing of the past.

People like Whitmer are the absolute worst.

First - good luck with that. If getting curb stomped and thrown in jail (if you're lucky) is your thing, feel free to "take up arms."

If you want change, start voting out incumbents. Yes, even your super awesome, bestest representatives. This country needs a grassroots movement to formulate our own version of term limits through the ballot box.

Shirley that wouldn't hold up in court. Just got say my fleet is down for maintenance or they are already booked.

Like I keep saying I would be disabling all my vehicles and going the route of concenitious objector.

They'll refuse until their permit is threatened. Without that they're out of business.

I would comply if I were them. With one guy. The slowest guy I have. I would require that all their paper work is filled out before hand, and i would check it before every tow. And I would put the onus on the government about where to keep these trucks. Or if it's up to me I would haul them very far away so that it slows down the process even more.

I know in some places at least in the states the tow company doesnt get to set the tow fee. Do you know how that works in Canada? Again if I could if I was the tow company the price would cover gas, and I would give a ride to the driver. So that he can reclaim and drive back.

The left being beaten at their own game and they hate it. The only difference is this is peaceful vs the left's destructive hound dogs that destroy communities. Oh and you don't see a large contingent of young metrosexuals with cars the size of Ford Pinto's blocks aways they drive off in.

 

[LouderVol]

All my drivers are sick

Yeah this is a world wide pandemic.

Not sure how this would work in France, but in the US and Canada it would be a long term logistics and supply chain problem. Imagine if all these Canadian truckers each got 2 yrs in prison. Not everybody can drive those rigs. Moving goods around the country is gonna be a nightmare for 2 years.

Ayn Rand in Atlas Shrugged showed the producers finally standing up to the moochers by just deciding to quit doing the work they did to keep the world moving. Kind of makes you think, eh?

That novel is eerily spot on. Guess cause she witnessed it first hand.

I have no idea about the towing regs and rules in Canada. I’ve got a cousin that married into one of the largest towing mafias in southwest VA. What little I know about the business is stuff I’ve heard from her husband.

WOW... I would have thought you would be the last one to jump on the "just vote harder" bandwagon. This is perplexing to see you make that point.

 

[NorthDallas40]

Are the police politely asking the protesters to assemble in an orderly calm line and enter the paddy wagons yet?

Voting is a PART of the solution. The harder part is getting involved in the hard work of BEING the solution. The slew of normal people stepping up to run for the thankless, unseen, but crucial seats on local school boards is a hopeful sign. Things will not get better until the people running the political system get replaced and that can only start at the bottom, at the local level. When you start at the top, at the statewide and national seats, you only get a choice between two already lifelong swamp denizens.

They aren't just being beaten, they're being slaughtered. The "right" is amassing an enormous gathering of more than 40 trucks and there's no hate speech, no burning, no looting, no hostility, nothing. The public at large sees it.

The global left is a stain on our collective underpants.

First, I have no desire to take up arms. I’m not in support of it either, so let’s get that out of the way.
I do vote against incumbents most of the time. I think no one should serve more than 2 to 3 terms tops at any level of government. Much of the time I vote against people after 1 term (usually that’s all it takes for me to decide they are typical politicians).

To ignore that we are close to violent uprisings would be to ignore everything in recorded history. When enough people feel genuinely disenfranchised, they revolt. The numbers of people that feel that way are staggering, and it’s on both sides of the political spectrum. Unfortunately, we’ve gotten to a point where getting to a middle ground is nearly impossible. I don’t know how that gets fixed at this point. The US and its allies have some serious soul searching to do. And I don’t doubt that Russia and China are funding propaganda on both sides to keep driving the tension.

There's really no scientific basis for requiring a vaccine mandate for these guys.
They spend most of their time driving in their trucks & they're not close to anyone at all.

 

[davethevol]

Seriously, look at stuff like this and tell me that there’s a way to fix the divisions going on.

Democrats have become nothing more than to rule as Dictator.

The “machine” goes beyond just the politicians and the reality is it’s an impossible task.

It's not an impossible task.

It's not an impossible task.

Fix it then.

So was Orwell.

"The party told you to reject the evidence of your eyes and ears. It was their final, most essential command."
"And if all others accepted the lie which the Party imposed—if all records told the same tale—then the lie passed into history and became truth."
George Orwell, 1984
