AND FROM THE REACTION OF THE LEFT...THE PROGRESSIVES... YOU'D THINK IT WAS THE END OF THE WORLD.
They have called them every low-life name imaginable...even some well known Tories have joined this Chorus.
If the Truckers were Native, or Racialized, or Antifa...left wing anarchists...there would be not a word said in criticism from the Justin Trudeau's of this world.
Last Summer Antifa Terrorists took over whole American Cities and even their Mayors came out in support of them. Barf.
The problem here is that the Truckers are viewed as coming from Right of Centre so they have to be bad and therefor condemned. Ottawa's Chief of Police is warning of violence which I would be very surprised to see happen.
Our Left Wing Media has been interviewing shop owners who express fear that their windows will be smashed and their contents stolen. Horsefeathers.
If I was a shop owner downtown I would welcome the Trucker Crowd since it will be the only crowd to seen downtown in over 2 years. Ottawa is a Government Town and Government Employees are working at Home...downtown has become a ghost town.
And this is not about Vaccines. Even longtime Grit Backroomer Warren Kinsella admits this in today's Ottawa Sun ...he correctly chalks it up to Anger on the part of Truckers and indeed more and more of our citizens who are fed up with needless lockdowns and scare tactics on the part of our Politicians and their backstop Doctors.
The issue did though start off with vaccines and that fact that 10% or so of our International Drivers were and are unvaccinated. They sit alone in their cabs and during Covid have struggled with an Impaired Supply Chain ... with their loss this will only get worse...much worse.
Lefties laugh at that and pretend it is all stuff and nonsense but of course they are wrong...dead wrong.
My wife Anne sent me to a nearby Loblaws Superstore the other day for Celery and Romaine Lettuce. There was but one beaten up stalk of celery left which I grab before anyone else could do so. The Romaine Lettuce was missing entirely. These items as we all know are mainstay staples.
When I check out the cashier told me that in all her years working there the back storage rooms were always chalk-a-block full ...that morning she said there was not a stick of anything there to be had.
You have to pick your fights and for this one it was not the time to do it. The Only Reason for it ...I Say again the Only Reason for it - was because it gave our Esteemed Prime Minister another opportunity to bad mouth Conservatives. He has shown Himself over the course of His 6 years in Power that He never passes up and opportunity to Diss the Right. And to Hell with the consequences.
When you go looking for the missing Lettuce and missing Celery at your nearest grocery store ...be sure to keep this in mind.
As I See It...
