January 2022
The Justin Trudeau government continues to bumble along in its mission to destroy Canada, as we currently know it.
On 11 January, the Canadian Border Services Agency (CBSA) announced a reversal of an order, set to take effect on 15 January, that all truckers crossing the border into Canada from America need to be fully-vaccinated against the Chinese Communist Party (CCP) Virus, making it so that only American truckers needed their vaccine certificates. Currently, around 80% of truckers are fully-vaccinated, but regardless, truckers are generally at low-risk for transmission of the CCP Virus.
Long-haul truckers, the ones crossing the border, usually ride alone, or with one additional driver, have limited contact with the Border Agents, and limited contact with the company receiving their load. Generally, the receiver will unload the truck, so the driver doesn’t even have to get out of the truck cab. Then the trucker will pick up another load, and head back across the border, alone as before.
On 13 January, Trudeau’s government announced that the CBSA had mistakenly issued the reversal, and that the original order would indeed go into effect on 15 January.
Does Justin Trudeau not realize that this will cause incredible damage to our supply chain, thus not only wreaking economic damage to industrial businesses, most of whom operate on a “Just-in-Time” delivery system for parts and supplies required in their own manufacturing process, but effecting the delivery of essential supplies like food.
There are already reports of empty shelves in stores, but unless this incredibly stupid order is cancelled, we will see severe shortages of food and other essentials. Does everyone remember “The Great Toilet Paper Shortage” back in the early days of this pandemic? It will also cause prices of these essentials to rise greatly in price, something that has already been happening over the past year.
The trucking industry is already facing a severe shortage of drivers, so this latest order for mandatory vaccines will make an bad situation even worse. Remember, these are the same truckers whom we were praising as heroes two years ago.
For the record, I’m fully-vaccinated with three shots, and would encourage everyone to get vaccinated. That said, I’m against mandatory vaccinations, as I believe in freedom of choice. Punishing international truckers by forcing them to choose between the freedom to drive their trucks across the border, and their freedom to not take a vaccine, will punish ordinary Canadians more than punishing the truckers.
As Dr. Ian Lee, a professor at the Sprott School of Business at Carleton University in Ottawa made very clear on “On Point with Alex Pierson” on Global News Radio 640 Toronto, this is more than just an economic issue; it’s one about having to eat, and the potential for massive food shortages.
Canadian Liberal supporters have given Trudeau a pass on his embarrassing, juvenile, narcissistic and racist behavior; his numerous ethical breaches; his determination to destroy the Canadian energy sector, including Alberta’s Oil Sands, that are costing jobs; his anti-business, anti-common sense policies that are destroying investment opportunities, thus also costing jobs; his Marxist leanings that are dividing Canadians and creating unnecessary turmoil.
Now it appears that Trudeau is even destroying Ottawa’s goal of becoming a world-leading producer of electric vehicle batteries, but neglecting to challenge China’s dominance in the lithium market, an element needed in their production.
Will the empty shelves in stores finally wake up Liberal Party supporters to the fact that Justin Trudeau is not only destroying Canada, but also destroying the Liberal Party of Canada itself, transforming it from a “classical Liberal” party, one that supported business and the freedom of opportunity, into a Marxist-Leninist party, one that bows down to the CCP.
Trudeaus’ behaviour, especially his recent behaviour, shows either sheer incompetence, or inspired malevolence.
Oh, and by the way, if any of you are unvaccinated, not just truckers, but anyone, then Justin Trudeau thinks that you are a racist and a misogynist. Just think about that statement the next time that you go to the polls.
