    Canada's COVID-19 vaccine mandate now in effect for cross-border truck drivers

    A COVID-19 vaccine mandate for truckers crossing into Canada from the United States is now in effect, raising worries about future disruptions to the supply chain as the pandemic drags on.

    ...The president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance said Saturday the application of the mandate could potentially cause some slowdowns at the border in the coming days if unvaccinated truckers have to turn their big rigs around.

    But Stephen Lakowski said the bigger concern centres on wider effects on the supply chain caused by driver shortages, which are likely to be felt cumulatively in the coming weeks and months...

    Yup.

    There are hundreds, if not thousands of truckers making the trek across Canada to Ottawa to confront PM Trudeau. The last time the truckers did this is when the Yellow Vest movement was happening and Trudeau completely ignored them... they basically accomplished nothing. This time, the mandates are ruining incomes and lives... not sure how this is going to go.

    On Jan22/22, the US mandates come into effect so the truckers from both Canada and the US will not be able to cross the borderunless completely vaxxed, whatever that means anymore. If this happens, the supply chains will be completely broken and shortages WILL occur...

    It could get ugly.

    Truckers from across the country have hit the road for Ottawa. BC (farthest west) and northern areas, NWT, YK, NT left yesterday.

    They're going to all arrive in the Ottawa, Ontario, area on the 28-29 and block in the city.

    There are estimates of 50,000 trucks in the convoys, as well as uncounted private vehicles.

    There's a GoFundMe that's sitting at almost $3.7 million and Trudeau has declared the Truckers to be terrorists and is trying to confiscate the money.

    Go figure, huh?

    The support for this is unbelievable. Vaxxed and unvaxxed, although there are still people who are supporting the mandatory jab and mandates...

    This is going to be really interesting.

    Who knew the truckers would be the warriors to take on the government???

    This is huge.

    If your'e on FB, just search for Canada Rally for Freedom or Freedom Convoy 2022 or even just Canada Truckers.

    Oh, and, I've heard that there are US truckers joining them... can't veryify that, though.

    I've seen numbers of up to 10,000 US truckers joining in. Any who are not allowed to cross the border will wait there.

    Hip hip hooray!

    Praying for this movement to ignite freedom in Canada, and for the freedom lovers to stand up and join the truckers! No observers, no bystanders - all Canadians standing up and joining this movement.
