WTH are they doing forcing a vaccine mamndate on truckers
-- who connect with nobody -- they are isolated 24/7
inside their cabs (modern ones, like the one my brother
had, have tv, internet, hot plate, microwave, VCR, stero,
& more)
So an arbitrary power trip is slowing up the movement of
necessary goods!
Hmmph, so the booze & weed stores are iomportant, but f***
truckers who bring that & more into our communities?
Not cool!
Yup, I'm seeing lots of empty shelves -- how much you want
to bet that the prices of the restocked supplies will be
higher than they are now?
I'm guessing 25-40% higher across the board.. .
Unless you live here, in Canuck-istan, you cannot understand. Unless you have to choose between shit tickets and protein, YOU CANNOT UNDERSTAND!
Read that again, make sure you heard what I just said.
Food? I'm still trying to make sure my a$$ is clean!
Remind me again how much you know about being a Cnuck?

Sorry, i am a (huge) bit bitter tonight...I blame my coffee...
August is Canadian. So is Rob McCart, who sometimes posts here from my non-Canadian BBS.
As best as I can tell, I am the only non-Canadian that posts here much.

Taxes can be higher for higher income people but that's the price you
pay for a half decent (not fully decent) health care system that, admittedly, does cut some corners and delays some treatments trying to save some money. Even though drugs and procedures cost much less than in many countries, we still fork out over $5000 a year for every person in
I'm with you on that logic/understanding. It makes no sense to
impose strict jab-mandates on truckers who spend very little
time mingling in crowded environments. The whole point of
lockdowns and restrictions was/is to discourage crowding.
The trucker's protest on Parliament Hill tommorrow ought to be
interesting!
The federal transport minister says that the shortages are not
due to trucking problems. He says it's due to shortage of
labour higher up the chain before shipments. I don't know if i
can trust the minister. He sounded very upset about the
truckers taking a stance and organzing a protest to the
mandates.
I was lucky. I qualified for CERB, and even CRB, for a
while...all of which just ran out. Now what? I still need
to eat, and wipe my ass, hopefully in a warm bathroom...
countries, we still fork out over $5000 a year for every
person in the country for health care and you can make
about $22,000 a year before you pay a penny in income tax,
helping out those low income people some.
I comment only to point out that not everyone is in dire
straits here, in fact pretty much everyone I know is
living a quite decent life even in these trying times.
Hopefully things will eventually get back to a more normal
situation since this pandemic does make it hard on a lot
of people.
Once again, I've had to learn the hard way: never mix internet and alcohol...

I think the threshold is lower. Even people living solely on
A segment of the population will remain struggling.
If you are reading the political echoes, or sysop echoes, sometimes that is the only way to read them. :D

Before you ask, no. The company I used to work for no longer exists. And
I am too old and far too pissed off to learn a new job.

...the gov't has passed out a huge amount of money trying
to support as many people as they can and they can't keep
doing it forever.
Hopefully before too many more months this thing will
start to reverse itself or get so mild that we can finally
Safely treat it like the Flu and get back to living our
lives.
My situation is different since I'm on pensions now so my
income is guaranteed, if not too high, and my only worry
is shortages of things I need to buy and the rising costs
of gas and groceries, but that is minor compared to what a
lot of younger people have had to put up with.
Hang in there.. this too shall pass..

The same gov't has made it difficult for many small businesses
