Juno News - Update on the trucker vaccine mandate

00:00:00.000 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

00:02:13.440 they were coerced into doing it it's terrible
