The federal government risks hitting Canada’s fragile supply chains with another shockwave if it proceeds with a planned vaccination mandate for truckers, say the Conservatives and industry groups.

 

Thank you for your comment. Your comment will be published after being reviewed.
Please try again later.

Since we now know that the vaccine now only protects yourself and not others, this mandate is not needed, and will only cause more harm than good.

This is horrible. Prepare for shortages on everything, price increases, rolling shut downs of factories that can’t get parts. This is a surgical dismantling of our economy by our own government.

If this was France all the truckers would strike and shut down every major highway in the country. Grind the economy to a halt.

And the food shortage shall begin starting that day

What will the result be: 1) destroy the supply chain...worse than it is now 2) cause prices to rise dramatically 3) bare shelves 4) poverty 5) hunger The other consideration is that it will 100% accomplish these things while still not stopping infection or transmission

They weren’t already doing this?

Complete idiots

Uhm. Stock up now.

What are they gonna do if truckers take a stand? Just go without? This will be interesting. Also 365 degrees of wrong.

JustinTrudeau melaniejoly Inflation, recession, worker shortage are just a tick away from destroying lives. Why are you going out of your way to hasten our economy's downfall?

Quit blaming the unvaxxed. It's the vaxxed is where the problems are. Maybe it's the vaxxed that should be banned from everywhere.

If Canada is really close to 90% vaccinated, then who are all these people that are going to lose their jobs because they aren't vaccinated? How are we losing so many jobs because of vaccination status if damn near everyone is jabbed?

Why the obsession with vaccines. The numbers don't back it up.

Gertrud29409036 This will get interesting

Good. ALL of them should quit and go on strike and the mandates will end in a heartbeat.

…because Covid is spread through solitary confinement in an 8x8 cell—I mean a truck cab? Truckers are the lynchpin of the flow of goods in our economy and they do not pose a public health risk to vulnerable individuals. God bless truckers.

Why?

Ah, fantastic, we don't have enough nearly supply chain issues due to government policy.

It is very clear the leaders in In this country want small business to go under , children to suffer and the supply chain to crumble. Above all else they want Canadians angry and fighting amongst each other. They want us distracted with fear and hate so we don’t see the truth.

Another great move and super late. Waiting on teachers still. We talk about safety of schools but they don’t have to be vaxed? 🤔

Start stocking the cupboards

lolaleetea Food shortages have already started in Ontario. Here we go…

Start stocking up in supplies.

Turdo needs to crash our economy this year to stay on schedule for the Great Reset ( Agenda 2030 )

Everyone talking about food no one talking about trucks that carry medical supplies, oxygen, fuels, and any other materials to keep the industrial plants running? This shit is about to hit the fan folks. Probably have more deaths from this than Covid.

You guys thought things were expensive before.. And its not like we can just easily get more trained drivers with covid causing issues in booking those very tests.. Proof of vaccination doesn't stop the spread, yet is used like it does.... Even with our lackluster testing

Here we go....

The answer is so easy. Get vaccinated keep on truckin'.

You thought you had inflation before......🤤

here we go again, better stock up on toilet paper LOL

Get the vaccine. You don’t work, you don’t get paid. All my Canadian trucker friends are vaxxed. No doubt some will not get vaxxed, but its the same with nurses, doctors, police, fire, government workers. We can do without you. If you won’t do your bit for society, please leave!

There are these long chained convoys w/ hundreds of containers running on rails that only need like 2 operators called freight trains? Guess we'll just have longer + more freight trains. Plus, it's opportune time for govt to invest in more rail capacity to fight climate change.

Economy isn't crashing as desired with the current measures: time for the big hammer

You think there’s a supply chain problem now, just wait until after Jan 15

WAKE UP PEOPLE - EMPTY SHELVE FOR CANADA

You mean O'Toole?

If truck drivers want a paycheck, they will fukcing do what they are told.

Great incoming apocalyptic supply chain issues incoming! Stock up people!

Those Truckers missed out on indoor dining and watching a movie with an overpriced popcorn at their local theatre... now their vaccine passport will only get them to Drive a truck

Because of all the parties they throw in their rigs. It’s almost like Ottawa wants to prolong our supply chain issues. What the actual fuck. Wake up Canada.

This is not a Ottawa, Justin Trudeau thing. This the totalitarian terrorism leader Stephen Harper and his firm Harper & Associate, using the truckers. To stage disruption with in the trucking industry and the movement of goods and materials from point A to B.

This seems senseless to me and at a time when they can isolate and still do their job’s ! We need truckers to deliver the goods and this way we could lose thousands much needed Men and Women who know how to isolate.

Motivation to get my hunting license

Gear down, big rigs.

Surely the Liberals must realize that their mandate will inevitably result in increased shortages of food and most products that we use. Empty shelves. Higher prices. And more inflation. Better start hoarding now.

What a joke. Let's kick the supply chain some more while it's down. Want a bigger joke? There's a ton of bootlickers who support this.

As if supply chains weren't bad enough already🙄

At this point we have to assume our government is actively trying to destroy this country.

🤣 fuck Ottawa. I’m vaccinated but this is ridiculous. We’re spreading the virus more. What’s really going on!? None of this bs is going to stop the spread. It is what it is. We have to move on.

They obviously want to keep the game going. ( the Jab agenda ) I have still have beer & groceries in plentiful amounts at my regular places. I'm sure Vxd & unVxd drivers make this happen. What exactly is the problem with this arrangement? ☕

Conservatives in 2020-21 : We need stronger border measures. Our borders are wild open. Libs are bringing variants in Canada. Conservatives in 2022: I dare you to do any restrictions what so ever at our borders.

Don't be surprised at the supply chain issues that arise from this.... they're firing the unvaccinated and then blame them for their absence. Absolute evil

The country will come to a halt on January 15th apparently. They should get vaccinated but they won't.

Manufactured crisis incoming. 🤣🤡🤡

That’ll help the supply chain…

Thank you India who want to save peoples life not to depopulate them ..

Controlled demolition supplychains

Nothing bad could happen here. Nope. No way

Wouldn't they need at least 6 weeks to get vaxxed if they are not? This is ridiculous JustinTrudeau

For what? For delivering frozen chicken?

Canadian's being fucked by JustinTrudeau again! The supply of goods will go down and prices will go up!

They should’ve started this last year. I guess the virus didn’t know it couldn’t cross the border with a truck driver.

That’s going to really hurt the supply chain! 🤦‍♂️

Truckers against vaxx but they are getting vaccinated, pressure in both sides of border.

You guys want to eat?

About time! They have been delivering American COVID 19 to warehouses for 2 years. We had “iron rings” around airports because the Conservatives were convinced airborne meant the virus arrives on airplanes.

How many dose?! 🤡🤡

Not enough. GetVaccinated truckers

Get ready for massive food shortages, goods and services delays for years! This many Canadian truckers and 10x that many American truckers. This is a massive violation of liberty and medical freedom at a time when Covid has never been less severe. This isn't about health.

Has anyone in support of this heard about the global inflation crisis? or the fact that its mainly caused by the shipping shortage? what are you people on? i cant believe this is even a consideration. This country has gone absolutely crazy.

More legislated stupidity

All truckers stand united, they will back down

Canada starting to sound like a Communist state. Glad I got out of that hell hole when I did.

Bring on food shortages!!

What’s the point? The establishments you’ve shut down required vax passports…obv that didn’t work…

Any reason why Canada is not banning cigarettes? So I can smoke 10 packs a day if I will, but vaccines are mandatory?

Good, I never understood the exemption.

Good luck. I guess we got to start hunting for our food soon

The bots are out in full force. stopthespreads

Huge mistake

Impossible to move forward with such a mandate.vaccines, they aren't working people .

So now you will be mandated to spread it..if not loose your job..people will applaud this until they have shortages and upsurge in prices..be careful what you cheer for

Yet another way govt will cripple services. First airlines (they gave in), health care workers, teachers, and now truckers. Stop the madness and the incompetence.

Most canuk drivers will not be a problem.. american drivers will just stop coming here

And considering 80% of the truckers are against vaccines, I'm assuming!... I'm going to say there will be quite the supply shortage coming.

Ridiculous

Truckers will stop the spread, of food gas and everything else the public requires. City folk will suffer first.

Good luck

Another round of inflation on the way.

This is good unless we all do our part this virus will not go away

Get vaccinated....simple.

vaccine mandates are long over due. we're in a public health crisis. science

Regardless of the backlash, mandates fundamentally override personal autonomy in favour of Public Health, and remain part of a comprehensive package of interventions to return society to pre-pandemic life.

There’s more than enough data now to prove that the Covid shots are ineffective.

How about Ottawa begin requiring companies to provide them fair pay and punishments for their employers when pressuring them to work in unsafe conditions?

Fixed it for you... 'The CTA estimates that about 10 to 20 per cent of Canadian truckers— between 12,000 and 22,000 workers — will be forced TO GET THE FUCKING VACCINE when the mandate is enforced.

And the supply chain shuts down. The economy crashes and we all end up bankrupt. Thanks Trudeau

Simple solution: Get vaccinated = problem solved.

Canada really going backward here, this will only drive costs up. Sure glad JT is in power, he really looks after the people.

Good thing they are implementing this at a time when employment numbers and the supply chain are strong. 🤦‍♂️

Liberals only want mandates when it doesn’t affect there personal lives. That’s why they are fine with super markets with no vax policy. Wait till 20 percent of truckers quit and they can’t get their stuff. But of course firing first responders is still ok

this will not go well

Only real job in Canada besides being the greatest worker in Canada!
