we hear talk of food shortages in certain parts of north america it's wild to hear hear about that
00:00:04.800
while at the same time we're stopping truckers from being able to do their job
00:00:08.160
uh so i'm just wondering if you have any update for us or anything you've heard on on this topic
00:00:12.800
lately uh we we just wrote a story uh earlier this week saying that um uh livestock feed is
00:00:21.760
going to be um affected by this in a terrible way um uh that um trucking companies were um
00:00:30.640
trucking companies have always had a hard time finding um drivers i mean let's let's be clear
00:00:34.160
with that but it's making it worse it's it's like the same thing with vaccine men for health care
00:00:38.720
you've got a a crude industry that you are now um moving the ability of it to walk ever um this is a
00:00:47.280
problem uh as far as vaccine mandates go i mean since since the convoy was dispersed um you do
00:00:53.920
see smaller efforts here and there um uh there i know there was supposed to be a big convoy in
00:00:58.880
victoria a couple weeks ago that you know the city was preparing for they're even looking into ways of
00:01:04.320
getting them keeping them off the ferries from getting there but uh the thing is number one it's
00:01:11.600
a federal mandate um and so a lot of a lot of the guys who are protesting um again they're not they're
00:01:17.680
not really political um so they may not necessarily know where this is coming from you may not understand
00:01:23.040
how one mandate can be provincial and another federal and even some can be municipal depending
00:01:28.000
um so this remains a federal vaccine mandate that hasn't been lifted um and that's why you know the
00:01:34.240
convoy was in ottawa as opposed to a legislature um but trudeau is getting away with this um he has not
00:01:40.640
lifted anything um it is you're right it is spiteful uh it's hateful it's malicious um you can just look
00:01:46.880
at the the curl of his lip when he talks about these individuals and their positions towards uh his his
00:01:52.960
mandates and his rules but i also know of many people who were forced out of work because of vaccine
00:02:00.720
mandates um tried to ride it out but let's face it this is this is british columbia um it's extremely
00:02:08.400
expensive to live here they couldn't last forever they did go back and get the shots
