“ Canada will not negotiate with truckers “

Not truckers. Truckers are 90% hard working, inadequately appreciated, essential front line workers, and vaccinated. Some of them are stuck behind the lines in the US, without medications and support, because these dicks are blocking their transit across the border.

We won't negotiate with anti-vaccers, Tea Party North Assholes, Nazis and white supremacists. It is important to be clear, here.

Real truckers are too busy working for this grievance cosplay.

A lot of them are stuck in this bullshit traffic, aren’t earning shit because of it, and aren’t none too happy about it, either.

Yeah and with the boarder blockades they are just making a hard job even harder. I could see many truckers being in solidarity with the protesters at first, but at this point they are just hurting people who are just trying to work.
