- 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
- It’s like 1939 PolandGnash
- I hear they were doing a lot of honking and walking aroundGnash
- and drivingpango
- And parking! Their parking was particularly aggressiveGnash
- yup. just like 1939 Poland :)pango

Canada ranked 6th-most miserable country by think tank.
(*out of 35 countries, but still.)On Tuesday, the Fraser Institute revealed where 35 countries rank on its Misery Index, an economic measure based on inflation and unemployment rates.
With its Misery Index score of 10.88, Canada was the sixth-most miserable country, thanks to its 3.15 per cent inflation rate and 7.7 per cent unemployment rate in 2021.
Spain was the most miserable, with a score of 17.61, followed by Greece with 15.73, Italy with 11.96, and Iceland with a score of 11.26.
Japan and Switzerland were the least miserable countries, with scores of 2.61 and 3.57, respectively.
France, the U.S., Australia, and the U.K. were all deemed less miserable than Canada.
- "Misery Index" is my next post-hardcore band btwnb
- do all these metrics actually constitute misery? what if Canadians just quit their jobs, collected Cerb and spent the day pickling shit and smoking weed?_niko
- ...sounds like happiness to me lol_niko
- Fraser Inst. is known to suck, full of d-bags who have no clue what happiness isnb
- Just look: Italy, Greece, Spain and Iceland are more miserable than Canada? Lol but I guess happiness is low unemployment.nb
- agree nd, idiotic_niko
- 3.15% inflation is based on old data. We now stand at 4.7% annual inflation (mid Jan). USA at 6.8 as of now. 12 months ago it was 1.0% and 1.4% respectivelymonNom
- It's going to get worse.monNom
- The Fraser Institute is a bunch of neocon shits.i_monk
- I am pretty happy. Inflation is a bitch though.eryx
- "Misery Index" is my next post-hardcore band btw

You thought it as funny, kicking our ass all those years in the sweltering heat and humidity or the Azteca Stadium? with 100,000 fans raining down boos and bags of piss?
You though the bus breakdowns, non-working elevators in the hotels and 3am fire alarms were hilarious?
well, how do you like these apples:

- it's interesting that they weren't wiped out by native diseases - or viceversa - like what happened in south america with spaniards and aztecs, etc.grafician
- Perhaps they were wiped outGnash
- Their living conditions and knowledge of medicine is as much, if not more, to blame than the bringing of new viruses from the west. Many other ppl than whitezarkonite
- europeans were regular visitors and brought their viruses too.zarkonite

Canadians used to imagine that climate change would benefit them, that the warming of the earth would make Canada a pleasant paradise with warm winters.
Science was like, "no, you fools. It will be extreme temperatures. Unbearable summers and even colder winters."
Some Canadians still imagine this future. Despite the usually most beautiful part of the country being a hellscape at the moment.
- In the area where my brother in law lives a few folk have died with the heat. He's currently working in his garage built into a hill, so it's a bit cooler.PhanLo
- It's actually the same in other parts of the world were we're used to having gradual climate changes
It it will only get worse from now on...grafician - Canadians don’t think thatGnash
