Truckers still have a mandate. That's right up to the end of the road. I hope the judge who's investigating the use of the emergency order is a stickler for principles and sticks to the principles of the law.

00:00:00.000 That dingleberry of a prime minister we have could have avoided all of the trouble last winter
00:00:06.220 just by dropping the stupid mandate against truckers.
00:00:10.340 And you know what?
00:00:11.180 That vindictive little prick has still got those mandates going right now.
00:00:14.800 Right now, truckers still have that mandate.
00:00:16.760 That's how petty and little that man is as a prime minister.
00:00:21.340 Mandates of all sorts are dropping all over the map.
00:00:23.660 But he will keep that one on truckers.
00:00:25.440 He'll keep it for 10 more years if he can stay in power that long.
00:00:28.760 And this was showing the government knew this.
00:00:30.640 They knew this before.
00:00:31.500 If he had just dropped those bloody mandates, we could have gotten rid of the problems of their supply chains,
00:00:37.660 ended the protests.
00:00:39.040 I mean, there might have been still some people showing up to protest,
00:00:41.120 but they're not going to have a heck of a lot of basis for it any longer, will they?
00:00:43.840 Because that was the whole start of the whole thing.
00:00:46.520 But nope.
00:00:47.600 They knew what was going on, and they still pushed through with the mandates.
00:00:51.380 It's still troubled and did this to us.
00:00:54.600 So, yes, I hope this follow-up, this inquiry into the use of the Emergencies Act really is thorough and real.
00:01:02.640 It's going to be hard for any judge, even if he's a liberal one, to be able to overlook and rig something like that.
00:01:10.400 I hope he's a judge who sticks to principles.
00:01:11.900 There's a lot of them out there.
