- It’s the first time Albertans have ever seen the capital._niko
- All I see is white bread folk here, Canada is almost 50% immigrants and in trucking it’s like 75% Sikh. This is just hosers blowing steam._niko
- some numbers from trucker association (whatever they're called)
roughly 90% of truckers are vaccinated.
less than 10% are anti vax
even less went for the protepango - they're main reason for protest is for CA/US to take down the cross border vax mandate.
and canadian gov's like ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ you want us to make US do what?pango - tho their frustration is not unfounded. the Vax mandate was announced 2 day (roughly) before it was enforced.pango
- even if they tried to get Vax asap, they still need to book appointment to get vax. it may take 1 week to 2 month.pango
- and then wait 2 weeks to be fully vaxed. that's a long time to be out of work.
so this is actually the direct result of US gov's action.pango - id say right now the biggest threat for the protest is the far right groups are slowly mixing them self into the protest.pango
- Truckers had it so good for so long, at the height of lockdowns they were able to cross the border no problem, no checks, no quarantine, nothing_niko
