Ford, Toyota and now GM halt production as trucker blockade chokes off parts

I still know more than you! LOL

Right. I worked 15 yrs in it.

if you knew anything about heavy differentials you would delete your stupid post blaming prices on harper and OPEC.

So we are going to govern the country with blockades now?

The protestors are quickly losing the little bit of support they have.

Most people are working and don't have time to protest like this. Who are these protestors who can take weeks off?

We are currently governed by a parliament that hasn't done shit in 9 months.

In december they elected chairs for the committees and then took 6 weeks off to let this shit fester.

The only thing they worked on was C2 which exploded from committee from a 7.5 billion price tag to a 12 billion dollar price tag that every business in and around the protest will access.

Its like they knew they would have to fund this garbage.


The government is dysfunctional .

pretty easier for a keyboard warrior like you to sit and criticize thousands of people who have lost their businesses in the last 2 years when the likes of costco , walmart , etc. have had a hay day

Trudeau did not cost them their jobs. Health mandates are primarily provincial directives. And every level of government did the best they could with what information and tools they had to deal with what really caused the job losses - COVID.

Governments could have acted like Brazil and ignore the disease other than offering free covid kits with Ivermectin and vitamins and had a simple results to Brazil where 632,000 died, the second highest number by country in the world, second only to the US where we just surpassed 900,000 have died from Covid and 2000 people are still dying from Covid there every day. Or like Peru, which took a similar path and has a death rate of 636.7 per 100,000 population. (not of cases but of pop.) Yet in Canada we have a rate of 92.4 death rate/100,000 and which is almost 3 times lower than the US death rate at 273.4/100,000.

Can't agree more that I am tired of covid and want it to be over, but wanting and actually getting it is too different things. Are some of the mandates stupid Definately. Should some things be done. Definately
But we need a genuine plan, not a blockade.

I am just using math dml, and not covid math.

Only 60% of eligible voters voted in the last election and he won 31% of that. So whats that work out to? Plus we just found 200k uncounted votes.

He is an illegitimate PM. He does not have a mandate of any type.

No, that is BS SPIN. Electing O'toole would have not been statistically better using your "MATH"
Liberal popular vote actually 32.6% (not the 31% you claim) X 60% = 19.56%
Cons 33.7% X 60% 20.22%
20.22-19.56 =0.66%
5% statistical difference is 0.967%

Your argument is not statistically valid!
