Canada Resists Pressure to Drop Vaccine Mandate for Cross-Border Truckers
US NEWS ^ | January 9, 2022

Posted on 01/12/2022 4:28:53 AM PST by tired&retired

Canada will require all truckers entering from the United States to show proof of vaccination starting on Saturday as part of its fight against COVID-19.

That could force some 16,000, or 10%, of cross-border drivers off the roads, the Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) estimates. The government estimates 5% of drivers will be impacted, according to a government source.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is pushing ahead with a vaccine mandate for international truckers despite increasing pressure from critics who say it will exacerbate driver shortages and drive up the price of goods imported from the United States.

Canada’s border agency, in response to a Reuters query, said unvaccinated truck drivers who are not Canadian would be turned back at the border starting on Jan. 15, possibly causing delays at the crossing. Canadian drivers will be allowed back into the country, but will be required to quarantine for 14 days.

Vaccinated drivers will be allowed in and allowed to skip a pre-arrival molecular coronavirus test, the agency said.

Vaxxed super-spreaders, in other words.

We can likely live without all of it.

But prices will go up.

That’s likely the goal of Deep States on both sides of the border.

Looks like we are sending them the exact same things they are sending us. Why swap the same back and forth? The exports not sent would replace the imports not received. Close it and call it an even draw. lol

STFU, Canada is our largest trading partner.

Oil, propane, natural gas, lumber, plywood, osb, maple syrup, vegetables, Christmas trees, paper, wood pellets, rock salt, grains, diamonds, gold, copper, automobiles, etc. These all items I personally know of that are made in Canada and shipped into the US.

Canada is one of the most resource rich countries in the world. Especially, in comparison of their population of only 30 million.

The real problem is that Canadian trucking companies can ONLY truck loads into and back to Canada. That means they can pick up a load in BC and deliver it to Idaho. Then they have to take another load back into Canada. They can not pick up a load in Idaho and take it to WA or MT or anywhere else in the USA. This keeps the trucking rates high for the US trucking companies.

It works both ways... We supply most of their fresh foods during the winter. They would get hungry and change their minds so fast it would make your head spin. Shut it down, it won’t last long.

Given the tyranny levels we are seeing in the white Commonwealth nations, it may be time to give up our Anglophile tendencies and stop pretending that those countries, as well as Western European countries, share our values. With the surprising exception of Sweden, the so-called Western European democracies are degenerating into police states.

“It will be harder on them than us.”

Sure would... Definitely be an arrogance adjuster...
