00:00:00.000 has Justin Trudeau finally met his match when it comes to the upcoming truckers convoy is this
00:00:11.700 going to see the federal liberals back down and admit that the vaccine mandate on truckers is
00:00:17.280 flawed you know it's hard to believe that almost two years into this when good news thankfully
00:00:22.200 abounds when people who want to be triple vaccinated can be where the treatments have
00:00:26.900 gotten so much better where the Omicron variant is confirmed by public health to be significantly
00:00:31.220 milder you'd think we'd be talking about getting rid of these things and yet all of a sudden we're
00:00:35.520 bringing in a new onerous rule that could actually have very real harmful and is already proven to be
00:00:41.600 having some harmful effects on our supply chain on our economy on the ability for Canadians to put
00:00:47.800 food on the table so what's going on with this truckers convoy it's going to start Sunday and
00:00:53.100 it's believed to be heading across the country day by day expected to pick up steam as more and
00:00:57.920 more trucks join that convoy and then culminate with an appearance on Parliament Hill and their
00:01:02.740 main message is to say we don't need this vaccine mandate for truckers it's harmful they've also got
00:01:08.320 a lot of opposition to various other onerous COVID-19 restrictions that are currently in place
00:01:13.240 there's a whole lot of things going on with the economy right now a whole lot of things going on
00:01:17.580 with the supply chain there's a whole whack of different inputs that go into what brings food
00:01:22.500 into our stores and I think it's folly for the federal government to pretend that they can be
00:01:27.220 central planners and know exactly what's going on in every single little facet of the economy
00:01:32.340 and the supply chain and there is no doubt that the vaccine mandate is already making things worse
00:01:38.620 now the percentage of truckers in the United States who are not vaccinated is believed to be much
00:01:43.560 higher than the percentage of truckers in Canada that are not vaccinated but you're still talking
00:01:48.400 about a large catchment of individuals who as everyone's acknowledged they're in their truck
00:01:52.900 they're alone they're pretty much driving from point A to point B what's the big deal it's perfectly
00:01:58.480 fine for all health officials politicians the general public to say we support everybody getting
00:02:03.420 vaccinated come on get vaccinated we want you all to do it but you know if a small percentage of
00:02:08.440 people aren't doing it and some of these people are guys who are just sitting alone in their truck
00:02:12.160 really is it worth all the fuss over and this is the thing all of the drama all of the anxiety
00:02:19.000 all of the complications to the economy caused by this issue now two years into this thing when we
00:02:24.680 should be having fewer rules not more that's what's so frustrating about all of this this is really a
00:02:30.420 needless mandate it seems more about being stubborn about trying to stick it to a percentage of people
00:02:35.880 to stick it to a certain sector to stick it to a certain profession well those folks are clearly
00:02:40.880 turn around they're saying no we don't want to tolerate this anymore we're not accepting anymore
00:02:45.120 we want to stick it to you the federal government we want to stick it to justin trudeau and show what
00:02:49.480 we can do so it's going to be really interesting to see what happens in the days ahead as the
00:02:53.760 truckers convoy gains steam across canada will justin trudeau back down
