John,
Unvaccinated cross-border truckers have been providing
an essential service to the Canadian economy for two years. That’s why
they were exempt from the border closures.
They pose
no threat to anyone. They’re alone in their trucks most of the time.
There is no crisis because of sick truckers.
So why
are they suddenly being forced off the road with a new vaccine
mandate?
Since the beginning of the pandemic, vaccine
mandates, forced shutdown of businesses, and other misguided policies
imposed on various sectors of our economy have made supply chains more
fragile than ever.
And now, at a time when the
trucking industry already suffers from a severe shortage of manpower,
criminally irresponsible governments in Ottawa and Washington
needlessly disrupt them even more.
It could not have
come at a worse time.
Most of the goods we trade with the
U.S., the fruits and vegetables that we buy from them, and countless
other products of necessity are transported by trucks.
If 15%
of truckers are forced to leave the industry, fragile supply chains
will be further disrupted, especially those in the food sector.
Already, shortages are appearing and there are empty
shelves in many stores.
This is insane. It should not
be happening in a rich country like Canada. But it does because of
Trudeau’s and Biden’s complete incompetence.
It has to stop!
John, I will be marching in support for our truckers this
weekend in Toronto, Mississauga and Waterloo.
Please support our essential mission of
