Coutts Blockade

[jazz]

You guys that wanted the army out to remove the native blockades you seem pretty quiet now.

Thats when I still cared about Canada. I dont anymore. Natives can block whatever they want I am with them. They cant do any more damage than our absolute fck up for a PM.

In case you didnt notice, the natives were fighting for their issue. Truckers are fighting for every Canadians rights.

Big diff.

Plus it turns out that the pic of Terry Fox statue , holding the pride flag and the guy holding a convient liberal sticker was photo shopped,
Like could it get more pathetic than that.
Pretty apparent facts never were a factor, after Trump made a virus political. ,

every day more story's of the unvaxed loseing the battle at rate 67 times higher than the vaxed.

But oh no Trudeau hate is more important. ( anyone can see that)
I do not like him either but it seems kinda dumb to risk dieing to prove it.

And your own conservative premiers had to manage the loads on the hospitals, Even they could see that. Why can't you?
Sure some regulations are stupid , but the general policy was the best we could do. Get over it.

The economy was chugging along just fine mandates and all, but a small % want to throw a wrench in that , over mandates that will likey expire soon anyway.
Look everybody is a little bitchy, but a tantrum will not solve a thing.

Tell me you are fringe without telling me.
Well If kenny moe and Ford are not right wing anti vax,anti mandate , anti mask enough for you.
Maybe you need an adolf

Legault realizes that politicians must listen to the people and he vows to unify his province. He says that his Unvax Tax was divisive and did nothing to unify citizens - actually the polls told him that.

Im struggling a bit with this blockade at the border... Numerous issues.

1) Im reasonably certain Coutts/Sweetgrass is the only authorized port of entry for live animals in/out for AB. While that may not necessarily have direct issues with regards to food security here in AB, it certainly affects feedlot bottom lines. One would also hope that for the sake of "animal welfare" anything live currently sitting in line has been allowed to turn around and offload at point of origin.

2) Coutts is the only crossing that allows 62,500kg weight limits from Shelby MT, into AB. Shelby being on the BNSF mainline is currently the rail terminus for a pile of bovine feed that is coming into AB feedlots via truck. Also a respectable amount of fertilizer comes off the BNSF line into AB as well. All again, at 62,500kg, rather than any other port of entry which would only allow ~48,300kg gross.

3) The majority of the fresh produce for grocery stores in AB, is coming up I15, and across at Coutts via california or negalis mexico.

While I do not necessarily disagree with the motives of the protesters, It's hard not to notice that Albertans are going to suffer the brunt of this. Now perhaps this is the pressure necessary to change a few minds in Edmonton, but it certainly isn't raising any eye-brows in Ottawa, or anywhere else in the country.

Can't argue with any of your logic. I wasn't aware of the unique attributes of this crossing. Although a local I talked to today insists that most of these loads can come through at other crossings, but would require a broker and more paperwork, any truth to that?

But as Willie Sutton supposedly said when asked why he robs banks,
because that is where the money is at".

If they are going to attract any attention, they need to cause some disruption. Parking in a farmers field, or at the legislature doesn't disrupt anything, they could be ignored indefinitely.

Maybe you can sell some yellow star of David buttons like they are doing in Ottawa.

Or maybe an iron on patch? Pretty popular I hear in your circles. #FluTruxKlan

Not sure I would accept donated diesel or gasoline and put in my truck or vehicle or generator. There were idiots out there crazy enough to put nails on the road in front of the trucks, I wouldn't put it past them to pull a stunt of donating contaminated fuel.
