    I don't need you to explain to me how this forum works and what our goals are. Political discussions turn into arguments, the arguments turn into insults, the insults become threats. Every time and without exception.
    Too many people obviously failed Debate 101 in school and are totally incapable of discussing opposing views without letting their difference of opinion become an all out brawl.
    We don't brawl in the main forum. That's what the Politics section is for. It's very lightly moderated and you can let off your political head of steam there and not bother the 90% of the membership that is here for trucking issues.
    We've been cutting a little extra slack on the Canadian rally thing because it most definitely is a politically charged event. But that doesn't mean that we won't move the thread to Politics if it crosses the line.
    Like I said...it's up to you guys.

    Have what in a list of demands? To have Trudeau removed? That, I believe, was said right from day one. Personally, that’ll happen once a vote is triggered. Anyone who thinks he’ll get back in after the way he’s handled this, and stormed out of question period like a toddler is dellusional. I for one am proud that finally, just finally, a substantial amount of Canadians have stuck together. And they come from all races and walks of life. Furthest thing from racist I’ve seen.

    Wasn’t telling you how it works. Was asking questions. But, go on talking down to others. “I don’t need you telling me how it works”. If me asking questions in a polite manner, much like our brothers in the convoy are doing, is an issue, pls feel free to remove me. I respect everyone’s opinions, much like I respect everyone’s choice to mask or not mask.

    The fact is, the GTA controls the outcome of any election. Unless they change the way we vote, he has a good chance of getting elected. Or his liberal replacement.

    That part is true…..unfortunate but true. But another fact is that there are more unvaxxed ppl in Canada than what voted for him in the fall. I sense winds of change…….and I do feel for all drivers stuck in border lineups caused by protests. But reality is, big company’s denounced it and wouldn’t be involved. Well they’re involved now!

    They denounced it because their drivers chose to get vaxxed and keep running. It’s not about cross border truckers. Never was.

    I beg to differ. I have plenty of friends who vaxxed out of fear of not being able to cross the border. Myself included. Within 2 weeks of being fully vaxxed I sold my one yr old truck and got out after 23 yrs.
    I agree it’s not about cross border truckers. It’s about freedom of choice without fear of job loss. Without ultimatums. Company drivers can’t bring a truck, because they don’t own the truck. It’s about mandates that make zero sense. It’s just my personal belief that vaxxed or unvaxxed, we’re all Canadians. Neither side should be discriminated against for their personal health choices.

    shouldnt, but I’m being discriminated against by the farmers blocking my border crossing. I’m not able to work.

    Today as I rolled out of Toronto flags and cars/trucks everywhere with end mandates on windows when I approached Barrie convoy of cars/trucks was at least 10 km long . This isn’t the main group just a little side group . Canadians are making their voices heard no matter what mainstream media portrays it as . It’s growing daily so liberals will be forced to deal with Trudeau before much longer I suspect. You can’t arrest half a province.
