Forage simple question, did you support vaccine mandates where people had to chose between losing employment and getting the Covid 19 shot?

Why would I question a business if they made their employees get a Covid vax.

The fertilizer retailer I deal with made all their office staff, site staff, and truck drivers get vaccinated or else look for a job elsewhere. They employ 50-75 people, they all got vaxed.

Just think if their business couldn't fully operate in the spring and fall of 2021, if a good portion of their employees were sick at home with Covid

Now you answer me Hamloc what are your thoughts on the anti -vaxxer Woke nutjobs not getting their children vaxxed for polio, chicken pox, measles, etc etc.?

At least Go Fund Me would be more democratic/honest then what the Liberals are doing.. Buying off the Media in Canada with tax payer's money to promote and protect the Liberals..

LOL your take on who the leaders of the convoy were is hilarious... Considering what the Prime Minister has accomplished in his lifetime... I'd take a Trucker over a failed drama teacher/snowboarder any day.

With Liberals it is always about "ME"

My take on the leaders of the Ottawa protest?

Google each and everyone of them, and then tell me if you would put them on your Christmas card list.

So, this is your answer going forward if Canadian citizens are not happy if the government in power is not the one, they voted for and don't like their policies to start a GOFUNDME so they can create Blockades and Protests?

The Leaders of the Ottawa protest were has-been Politicians and Ultra-Right wingnuts who couldn't make it in real life with nothing to do in the winter.


Your certainly promoting the ME comes first attitude which so many bitch about on Agriville regularly.

No it's not my answer. But the opposition parties don't seem to be doing their job in defeating Trudeau for his incompetence.

There are literally millions of people protesting covid polices in china right now forage. These people have been locked, poked, prodded, tracked, tested, QR coded, starved and cut off from families over the same policies that those truckers stood up for.

But its all good right.

Interesting answer, you didn’t say you supported mandatory vaccination for Covid, you simply said “why would I question” the business for doing so. You did use a time frame(in spring and fall of 2021) which was before Omicron and at that time there was some benefit in transmission reduction with the Delta variant.

Also very instructive was the difference in how I asked my question, in a clear respectful way, and how you phrased your question “anti -vaxxer woke nutjobs”, similar to Justin Trudeau who called anti-vaxxers “misogynists and racists”. Regardless I will answer the question. Polio, chicken pox and measles vaccines have been proven generationally safe and I think it is a mistake not to vaccinate kids against them. Having said that I wouldn’t say the same for the Covid-19 shot and I have no issues with parents not having their kids receive this shot. In my opinion, Omicron has rendered the Covid shot of little value except to those over the age of 75, those with underlying health conditions or with immune deficiencies. And the shot won’t stop transmission but is supposed to keep you from getting very sick. The last statistic I read was 50% of Canadians had had their 3rd shot and 7% percent their 4th. The majority have now had Covid, many more than once even though they were vaccinated. Omicron doesn’t discriminate unlike Liberal supporters.

Liberal farmers better vote, or get out now, please

Netherlands to Buy Out Farmers Amid Pushback Over Nitrogen Goals: The Netherlands laid out plans to buy out hundreds of farms near nature reserves, an attempt to quell the fury of Dutch farmers over its goal of halving nitrogen emissions by 2030. The government will acquire large nitrogen emitters as part of a voluntary and one-time offer, said Nitrogen Minister Christianne van der Wal-Zeggelink in a letter to the parliament in the Hague. The cabinet has set aside €24.3 billion to fund the transition. The target, designed to comply with European Union rules on reducing nitrogen pollution, prompted uproar among farmers shortly after it was first presented in June. If implemented, the government’s plan would require cuts of as much of 95% in emissions in some provinces and see the livestock population in the Netherlands reduced by a third over the next eight years. If not enough farmers sell their businesses, then the government may have to force some of them out of business, Prime Minister Mark Rutte said in a press conference on Friday. (Source: Bloomberg)
