    Either he's completely clueless or he's intentionally ruining the place.

    Hard to tell between idiocy and genuis when is question the intention.

    "On Wednesday, a spokesperson for the Canada Border Services Agency said the federal government was backing down from that commitment and would allow Canadian truckers to enter the country without having to quarantine even if they were unvaccinated or had received only one dose.
    Today, the federal government walked back that statement, saying that Wednesday's statement was "provided in error" and that the regulations outlined in November will stand."

    That's twice now the CBSA wet farted, or the goberment keeps messing with them, either way none of it looks any good and sows distrust. We need anarchy to come back for just a decade, to wipe all that vermin out of office in turn to begin a new republic. Let's face it, everything's mostly dysfunctional, I mean even the Cancer patients can't get surgeries so they'll just have to die. It's crazy the whole thing. We need find that reset button and jam it hard.

    You're right, it's got to be done. There's something so fundamentally wrong with where we are at at this time that no amount of words can walk things back. Some sort of action must be taken and/or an example set.

    No one is going to quit. All the guys who said they’d quit when e-logs were introduced never did. If anyone did it was a tiny percentage. If guys can’t cross the border they’ll just find guys who can and keep them crossing back and forth 24/7 and do trailer swaps on both sides of the border. I don’t think there’ll be a problem.

    I was and am still prepared to walk. I'm running canada only with the same company I've been with for four years hoping that this gets reversed. I'm giving up maybe a third of my income right now. My boss tried to scare me into compliance by telling me he would have to let me go if I didn't get vaxxed and told me to prepare for that, so I went and found three companies who would hire me. That was last week. I'm still waiting to be fired. Either way I will walk and am prepared to do so.

    Prepared to leave that company and the industry is different. I do hope you find a great company though.

    Nothing will ever change. The feds will just keep bringing more immigrants in to replace guys like myself who’ve had enough and exit the industry. 23 years, and 4 trucks later, I’m out. Trudeau wants flip floppers in the seat while he subsidizes half their wages……they can have it all.
