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

[chuckChuck]

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?

[chuckChuck]

Well Trudeau better do something fast. They just blocked a Ottawa airport this am.



You have a toddler level understanding of our energy industry.

I still know more than you! LOL

That depends if he gets more than 18% of the vote this time.

Cut the BS Jazz Your desperation is showing when you have to spin the results of an election to justify your position

FACT: The only people who can vote for Trudeau were those living in his riding in Quebec. In his riding he received 59% of the votes. The NDP candidate was second with 25% of the vote. The Conservative brought up the rear with just 5% of the vote.

Second, The Liberal party recieved 32.6% of the popular vote in last election. The Conservatives received 33.7%. Yes, the Conservatives won a higher percentage of the popular vote but neither received more than 50%. If you compare the popular votes on a left wing/right wing basis, the Left wing certainly outperformed the right wing

Third: None of the above matters because the parlimentary system in candidate is based on a riding system of electing the government. It all depends on who won the most seats and the Liberals won with 160 seats compared to the Conservatives with 116 seats so they formed the government

Finally, since the Liberals did not have a majority of seats, the opposition parties could have forced them out at any time if they did not agree with the direction the government was taking or felt they had more public support. None did, so here we are.

Its the Trump influence heading north when a few people want to overturn a democratically elected government.

Trump still thinks he won the election and all the Republican states that turned against him were stolen because of electoral fraud.

He couldn't even twist the arm of Republican officials to lie. And he incited a mob to hang vice president pence and kill other representatives.

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

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.

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.

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 .

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.

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!
