Someone needs to draw a line, enough of these tyrannical mandates. Thanks to our friends next door who are taking a stand for freedom.
On Monday, delays were reported at the U.S./Manitoba border as a large group of Canadian truckers said enough is enough, they demonstrated against new vaccine requirements that went into effect over the weekend. It happened at the Emerson Port, at the US/Canadian border.
‘We need to end all of these totalitarian mandates,’ spokesman says
Drivers demonstrated against sweeping vaccine requirements put into place by the Canadian government on January 15 requiring all U.S. truck drivers entering Canada show proof of full vaccination.
Unvaccinated Canadian truckers who are returning from the U.S. will also be required to quarantine for 14 days under the new rule.

Excerpt from a Global News CA report:
People hoping to cross the border at Emerson are having to deal with a delay Monday morning.
Truckers tell 680 CJOB that a slow-roll protest is delaying trucking and other traffic as some truck drivers protest the vaccine mandate for all truckers that came into effect on Saturday.
Driver Jamie Throp says it took him 30 minutes to reach the border crossing from the start of the protest.
“Truck drivers are circling MB-75 between Emerson Duty-Free and the Commercial Inspection station blocking all lanes heading south to the United States and Northbound traffic coming from the USA,” Throp said.
“In the early morning hours on January 17, 2022, a truck convoy descended near the U.S.-Canada border in Emerson, Manitoba, Canada to protest the vaccine mandate policies both the U.S. and Canada are implementing.”

Thank you to our Canadian trucker friends for riding for freedom.
Truckers are the backbone of every westernized country, and without them, we end up with a country that looks like this:
