    * "experts" say. . . :)

    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.. .

    Are you a trucker? (o_O)
    No?

    Then you must be a Canadian, right? (o+O)
    No?

    Then stop pretending you know what you're talking about...

    Please keep worshipping the clown that used to be your president, instead...

    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!

    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?

    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.

    George Pope, who you wrote this to, is indeed Canadian.

    You might want to check your attitude before you piss off most of your
    FIDO network fellow countrymen. There are actually quite a few on FIDO.

    No, but my brother was, & I pay attention to issues that affect my family & me.

    Yes, actually, I am. Born & bred.

    Just bringing up topipcs for discussion, is all. Nobody knows everything, so we toss around varouis thoughts & opinions on whatever subjects come up. . .

    Most of us understand perfectly that we don't know everything and are simply looking for others to respond with what they think or know.

    Maybe you're different?

    Please keep worshipping the clown that used to be your president, instead...

    Believe me, nobody's ever been my president & so nobody you're referring to as a clown either.. .

    Bad enough I have a traitor & mass murderer for a prime minister!

    Yes, actually, I am. Born & bred.

    I feel like I owe you a second apology. I already made fun of your name, and now I've made fun of you for the country that I though you lived in...

    I swear, I'm not really this stupid in person! \(O_O)/

    Please accept my double apology. I cannot promise to insult you again, but I will promise not to do so the same way...

    Well, it seesms America bashing is an internatonal sport only close to being rivaled by participation in futbol! It's Canada's raison d'etre, I think.

    I swear, I'm not really this stupid in person! \(O_O)/

    CHE-tongue-EKY: How could you be? :-^)

    Okay. . haha. . .chit happens!
