O Canada!

"Part of me, would like to see the US truckers do the same. Drive into Washington, and sit right outside our Capitol building. What a message that would send!" 

It is not very often, I can look to the north and praise our Canadian friends. Don't get me wrong - I love Canada. It is just that sometimes their politics in Ottawa, can make them kind of goofy. And the fact they have Fidel's son running the joint, does not help. That being said, what is going on right now with the Canadian truckers, is a ray of hope. If only the United States could follow their lead.

What is the deal up in the northland anyhow? What has gotten these hard working truckers so riled up? The jab. That mandated jab. Of all the dumb things governments can do, this is one of the dumbest. In what started out a loosely organized effort, the Freedom Convoy was formed. It is comprised of truckers and sympathizers, who have had it with silly mandates. Like, if you cross the border from the United States into Canada, Canadian truckers will either need to show proof of vaccination, or be forced to quarantine at home. What a bunch of nonsense!

The truckers are resolute in their protest. They will drive into Ottawa (and there are a bunch of them now!), and park around their seat of government. Once there, the protest will be peaceful, but forceful. In other words, they will be heard. And the interesting thing is this -  the protest is garnering support from all over the world. Even Elon Musk has tweeted out his support for the truckers. 

Fauci always says, "Follow the science, follow the science". Okay - let's do that. Current stats from the CDC states that 43% of all new Covid cases (and Omicron is now the dominate strain), are breakthrough. That means the vax did will against Delta, but not so well against Omicron. If we really wanted to follow the science, we would now be focusing in on therapeutics. Like, Biden's foolish decision to halt monoclonal antibody treatments. Or the pills, that both Pfizer and Moderna have developed. Nope - only the vax will do with the authoritarian rulers of the US and Canada. Give me a break! 

What clueless leaders like Trudeau and Biden don't realize is simply this - our supply chain is hanging on by a tread right now. And that tread is made up of the truckers. If they strike, it will be devastating. But guess what? The truckers DON'T want to strike. They want to work. But they don't want the heavy hand of government forcing them into taking a vax which is no longer necessary for this variant. Hello? What ever happened to freedom? 

Part of me, would like to see the US truckers do the same. Drive into Washington, and sit right outside our Capitol building. What a message that would send! It would be a temporary hardship with more and more shelves going bare. But for freedom, for real science, it would be worth it. It would also take Biden's poll numbers, and really tip them upside down.

O Canada - we are so with you on this protest. Thank you, for showing the way. That you, for loving freedom. Me? I am loving that flag with the Maple Leaf on it, more and more all the time.
