We have talked about this quite a bit. {Go Deep} I’m not sure how this attempted needle threading is going to work out in the longer term. The announcement has come as a surprise to the Canadian trucking industry.
Apparently fearing the economic consequences, the Canadian government has dropped the vaccination requirement for Canadian truck drivers, and instructed border officials to permit unvaccinated Canadian truckers to cross the border.
The vaccine mandate for cross border truckers was scheduled to begin in a few days, January 15th. However, the Canadian vaccination rule for U.S. truckers will remain in place.
MONTREAL — The federal government is backing down from its vaccine mandate for Canadian truckers three days before it was set to take effect. Ottawa announced in mid-November that truck drivers crossing into Canada would need to be fully vaccinated by this Saturday.
But on Wednesday evening Canada Border Services Agency spokeswoman Rebecca Purdy told The Canadian Press that Canadian big-riggers will not have to quarantine if they are unvaccinated or have received only one dose.
[…] The new rule will still take effect for American truckers, who will be turned away at the border unless they’ve been inoculated starting this weekend. (read more)
How the hell can Canada justify dropping the vaxx mandate for Canadian truck drivers, but not for U.S. inbound shipments? Are they preparing for a massive amount of rig switching at the border? Good grief, what a mess.
♦ Here’s where the weakness of Biden and Buttigieg comes into play. If the U.S. side of the border enforces the vaccine mandate, the Canadian truckers will still be blocked, as the U.S. truckers are now stopped from entering Canada. However, that would take a U.S. administration ready to enforce equality in the supply chain against Canada.
There could already be an agreement between the White House and Canadian officials, and we just don’t know about it. However, I would not make that assumption. With this administration everything is done on the fly as a reaction to the politics of events.
Surely some enterprising journalist in DC is going to ask the White House what the U.S. response is?
Then again, maybe not. After all, the insufferable DC doofus tribe likely have no concept of the chaos that can unfold over this trucker vaccine mandate writ large; which is scheduled to take effect on January 15th for cross border trucking, and then on January 22nd for all truck drivers inside the U.S. hauling domestic routes.
If Canada has dropped the vaccine requirement for their truckers, but not U.S. drivers, the Biden administration needs to hit them back.
Keep watching this issue, because the January 15th deadline was also supposed to take place at the U.S-Mexico crossing.
This situation reminds me of the Pennsylvania state government shutting down truck stops, rest areas and fuel stations during the beginning of the pandemic, then wondering why all their stores were empty within days? Duh!
Since we supply most of the finished goods in Canada, this won’t go well for them.
We provide over 40% of Canada’s gnp via trade. They provide less than 13% of ours. Don Surber did an article on it a few years back
China wants to fill that 40% trade gap. The Brandon admin is assisting by doing China bidding. Why else would China pay Hunter such large amounts? It’s not that they like the Brandon crew.
China can’t feed their own people. Why do you think Trump was so successful with the tariffs? Brandon administration is ignorant to the real world, and Trudeau is simply a liberal lunatic. This cannot or will not be allowed to last. Question is,.. how long do they both play it out? Shelves are emptying out now around the US and people are becoming aware. I’d like to see a little awakening myself.
Chinese ports aren’t posting any more shipment dates after the Chinese New Year, nothing even for March. Companies aren’t getting any info from previously responsive Chinese companies re shipments. Last scheduled shipments out are 1/26. Also, Xian, Zhengzhou, Tianjin and Ningbo are going into or are already in lockdown. Big manufacturing and shipping areas.
Not filling any 40% gap based in this info. Wonder what’s up over there, other than another variant?
Time to bring manufacturing back to the US. We’re going to have a perfect opportunity to Win elections the country will be in drier straights by the end of the year.
Interesting.
One possibility is that the Chinese are very good at taking the long view: hold shipments and add more pressure to the falterings US economy.
Or, maybe since the ships can’t get offloaded at some major US ports for an extended period there’s no hurry to ship?
China owns Canada and a whole lot of others.
Ninety-nine percent of this nonsense is the desire of positions of power to exercise dominion of their fellow man.

How? The “BIG GUY” wants his cut, then the trucks can cross the border. Likely there’s someone in Canada who wants their cut as well.
Canadian truckers were giving their government pushback on the vaxxes… they’re blue-collar and either Conservative or PPC (Canadian version of MAGA).
Unfortunately, I guess because our truckers weren’t hitting Truvada hard enough they didn’t make an exception for us too.
Boycott Canadian products
Yeah, no more Canadian Bacon for me!
😄
Having this administration in power is like being tied to a chair in a room with a toddler with a loaded gun.
That analogy pretty much sums it up.
I disagree – it is deeper than that – the toddler has been placed in view but behind the curtain is a group of nefarious beings who want to destroy our great country (think former president – valerie jarret – george soros – blackwater)
Don’t forget Buraq.
This is his “Fundamental Transformation” that the sheep bought into.
In a liberal’s warped way of thinking, Trudeau can claim that since he’s not mandating the vaxx for Canadian truckers, the shortages are not his fault. As for the American mandate, he can point to the worst cities in America for The Covid to claim its cases are much worse and he is protecting The Fatherland. What’s more, he can claim that the shortage is because there are so many unvaxxed truckers in the hospitals. Why not?🤷🏻♀️
Be can claim all he wants to. It’s not going to convince hungry people.
“Lets run out of food in the winter” seems like a good plan.
Let’s run out fuel for heating, fuel for the trucks, in the winter as well as food. UN Chinese Blue Helmets coming soon?
Everyone check your optics to be sure the reticles look sharp against sky blue targets. Red, I’m thinking, should work best. Jus sayin.
Right now buck fiden is busy closing leases in Alaska so we run out of oil and have to buy from our enemies.
Canada’s fruits and vegetables would end in a week. But never, never underestimate the belligerence of government against their own people. Most especially people who do not Obey.
It’s actually worse against people who do obey and wind up injured by fraudulent jabs, lockdowns, and restrictions. Those who refuse to comply at least get to live as free people.
Surely some enterprising journalist in DC is going to ask the White House what the U.S. response is?

They are not journalists, they are democrat stenographers. Sheesh.
I think it’s more accurate to describe the MSM as the DC hired public relation firms.
Never underestimate Stupid People in large Marxist Groups. They always overestimate Their powers and underestimate our resolve. FJB and Blackface Brownface Racist Trudeau. Jan 23 Truckers in Canada are staging a Protest Canada Wide.
Thank you truckers!
The Canadian government had no choice but to back down to mandated for the Canadian truckers. It’s a clear violation of the Canadian Charter of Rights and they know damn well that it would not stand up in court. This is an effort to keep the threats alive for other vaccine mandates (like Quebec) because if it goes into effect and is challenged and defeated on Constitutional Grounds then the rest of these “threats” go with it. Nothing in the Canadian Constitution would apply to non-Canadians, i.e. American truckers.
So far these “threats” have been working on people so they are achieving their end goal, so they want the “threats”, but they won’t follow through because once the mandate is official it can then be challenged.
(In my opinion at least.)
Why is that song from Smokey and the Bandit playing on in the back of my mind?
You and I hear alike!
Yes I can hear old smoky saying sum #*tch I’m to barbecue his hinny.
“East Bound and Down”
“Democrats are for the workin’ man!”
Sarcasm??
Park the trucks in every traffic lane leading up to the border crossings, turn off the engine, lock the doors and walk away. Nobody gets in or out. Do this at every crossing and then just wait. If they try to use tow trucks, drive more tractor-trailer rigs up to block them in, too. Park them also across the railroad tracks.
When trade between the two countries completely stops, someone will be forced to yield.
It wouldn’t be that hard because there aren’t many crossings. You could probably count on two hands the crossings from International Falls, NY to Plattsburg, NY.
I work for a company with a little over 100 employees. I’m one of the more senior people, but I stay away from managing people.
There was supposed to be a new “show your papers” policy announced this week.
They started floating out some feelers, and apparently they determined too many people would quit. We got a new covid policy, but it doesn’t include the vaccine stuff.
Gotta win these small victories one by one. I can sense the tide is changing.
Yes, HOLD!
Feels like a large-scale game of chicken.
Awful.
Dig in and take a stance. Will you be a leader, or will you just follow?
Sorry Boss, but my medical records are private.
so the loitering move started around nov
The manufactured shortages.
Some jackass reporter for Fox Business was at one of these ports remarking about how there are fewer container ships visible at sea. I suspect he hasn’t been keeping up with news. Or he’s pretending not to know things. Regardless, an idiotic report trying to make people feel good about their condition. (It’s not your fault. You’re a victim like everyone else. Lower your expectations.)
So disgusted with media coverage of most everything … have called stations, written program directors … every single one takes orders from above and until someone ‘big’ covers the story, it didn’t happen. We are being treated like mushrooms – kept in the dark and fed manure … who pulls the strings?
The great community organizer, and his friends Xi and Soros.
Calling Peter Doocey.
His dad is a never Trumper.
Look at this way…if the Canadian Truckers were held to a VAXX Mandate, they could not deliver Chinese goods delivered in LA, Vancouver and SEATAC Ports bound for Canada.
…or these idiots are soooo dumb, the Canadian Government forgot that they were supposed to allow Sock Puppet JoeBama to publicly “retaliate” vs the Canadian Truckers.
Interesting that Canada has a southern boarder that it plans to enforce!
This is not the first time Canada “enforced their Southern Border”.
During the border hub-bub caused by congress and the 9th Circuit Courts, 2017-18, Comrade “Eyebrow” Trudeau declared Canada would throw its borders open to the illegals who cross the US Southern Border. When those immigrants arrived at Canadian Ports of entry, the border WAS CLOSED to anybody entering Canada who did not already have job and cash in their pockets.
Have you been following the trials and tribulations of the NHL for the past two years?
What were they thinking? Why assume that they were.
Could it actually be they caved to the pressure of trucker push back? come on man! just more trickery to keep us confused and unstable. This game isn’t even a little bit fun anymore. And if it’s a movie I’m outta popcorn (and bubblegum).
SD, I can see the sentence you wrote, but this seems like an even more incendiary move if true:
Vaccine mandate for all US truckers starting Jan 22 – even to run a load of chickens from PA to NY?
Is that right?
How would that not basically shut down the country within 7 days?
Four full days of unstocked shelves and we all know what happens next. The cities with Democrat mayors in Democrat and RINO governor states burn. Then, in a saner administration, the National Guard gets called out. But it would be the Detroit riots on steroids.
Please clarify, or elaborate?
Treepers with family and friends in those areas need to know in time to at least try to talk the knuckleheads who are still sleepwalking into taking protective action.
The Supreme Court CAN strike down the FEDERAL MANDATE, i.e. Sock Puppet JoeBama’s pen & cellphone cannot be used to enact Mandates based on OSHA and CDC “guidance”, “findings” and “recommendations”, without a corresponding bit of legislation by the US Congress. That IS the subject of the current Supreme Court Case and the meaning behind the 1905 Jacobson Precedent.
That leaves STATES free to legislate and mandate as has happened in NY, ILL, MINN, NJ, CA, etc. based on OSHA and CDC words, as well as PRIVATE BUSINESSES. It also puts allot of pressure on States with a democrat executive and “Republican” Legislature.
This will be a jab in the eye of all the folks screaming 10th Amendment and PRIVATE BUSINESS, you want it you got it … the States are in charge and Business does have a degree of latitude as to whom want they serve. It will also set up a patch work of mandate-no mandate States and Businesses along ALL lines of transportation and business in the US. This is a level of confusion, welcomed almost as much as a “National” Mandate by the Puppet Masters.
At least 2+ FULL (Local Courts to Supreme Court) NEW rounds of court cases will be needed to undo the mandates as well as OSHA & CDC & NIH Science based on actual medical-science as well as mathematical statistics.
Speaking of chickens. There were NONE to be found yesterday evening at the supermarket. The meat guy said the truck brought hardly any chicken packages in the past couple days.
Don’t forget.starting sometime in the early Feb new cdl regulations go into place requiring a 4 week course to acquire a cdl.cost is estimated at 4k .we are already 80k truckers short.let’s make it more difficult to get a cdl.guess one cure would be illegals with cdls.they don’t need to vax as Pfizer immunity does not apply to non citizens.can’t be letting Pfizer getting sued into bankruptcy with all the politicians owning billions of their stock.
Their narrative is falling apart…
Isn’t it time we start rounding up the bad actors….
Rounding up the Criminals running this Country would be a start.
They know exactly what they are doing. All by design. Keep all things in total chaos, proceed with evil, demonic plans to take over all governments and control people. Simple. Chaos. Mandates, papers, restrict food, movement, fear. All part of the big plan. My opinion.
C’mon man! Everyone knows that “the Science” shows that SARS-CoV-2 infects American truckers more readily than Canadian truckers!
Perhaps they’re thinking this will act as a form of protectionism for Canadian truckers?
Of course me being the suspicious type, I would say that chaotic slowdown at the borders is in the interest of the DC Cabal as a precursor for pushing for some kind of NAFTA 2.0.
World Economic F-Ups.
The virus only travels in one direction? Science!
Those in charge of Canada know this is a war. They have chosen sides, and it ain’t ours. All that remains to be seen, by the entire world, is what are WE going to do about it?! The fight is here. We are the last best hope on Earth. Isn’t that comforting?
Worldometer reports Coronavirus Cases:64,359,409
Deaths:866,891
20% of the US population are now immune due to recovering, and those are only the reported cases. There are many, mostly younger people, who had it and never got tested.
Yet the naturally immune get no breaks from the mandates and are being forced to get the vaccines. Our governments are insane and must be purged of dirty commie rats.
The world has gone mad. The leaders of so many countries have their heads so far up their colons that their brains are digesting. This, “Shoot from the hip” mandates are nuts.
I feel like I’m LaLa land….when will the bs end?
Let’s go Brandon or my favorite, FJB
Sorry for the typo this instead of these. Mind faster than fingers.
In my opinion, crash the economy now. The bigger the better. That is the impetus required to wake up the fear-mongered, rabid pro-vax sheeple and the leftist woketards. No food, no job, hungry children are all required to bring on the necessary revolt against the global elites who are pushing this Fascist, global warming agenda, and whatever else, upon us.
We citizens need to push back soon or “they” will win. I am hoping truckers will go on strike too. Really bring everything down with a huge bang!
We have to force fear and discomfort back up to the top. They need to be afraid of us and our power, and they aren’t.
Waking up a portion, yes, but there are huge numbers that will demand the govt take care of them – no matter the cost and no matter what they have to give up to be taken care of. That mindset runs very deep as the ministry of brain washing via our school systems have ensured.
You can’t reprogram a 100 million people that have espoused the cradle to grave ideology in days.
Even if we can turn 20-30% of the woke libtards and sheeple, the elitists and corporatist oligarchs are done.
Remember, we are a power to contend with waiting for a leader or the right impetus to unite us into action. And the action must be unrelenting till the globalists cower in fear and back down. So far they are sitting in the catbird seat and we have to de-throne them before it is too late.
Right, exactly on Sparky!
We are watching a self created catastrophe unfold before our eyes. Every mandate/rule that this administration has created defies logic, science, and common sense. More important are the repercussions of these mandates, ie: shipping containers/port authorities. The end result is already very clear for all to see and feel. price increases due to lack of inventory or raw material, inflation that is being driven by fiat money flooding the market. All of this is by design, this is basic economics 101, but what we are learning is just how complex and interwoven these supply chains are, and how human ingenuity has created these mechanisms so that everything operates ever so smoothly.
We are under attack by the greatest risk we may ever face in our lifetime, “A TYRANNICAL GOVERNMENT”, that is prepared to self destruct in order to achieve its goal, similar to the suicide terrorist that is willing to die to achieve his death and destruction.
Joe Biden is the suicide bomber, he is just too feeble to comprehend his handlers have dressed him in a suicide vest.
Canada and especially Quebec are disasters.
Further evidence of manufactured crisis. It will only end when the creators are permanently removed. Anything short of that is just blah blah.
American covid is worse than Canadian covid.
Idiots – every single one of them.
If you want to kill the world’s economy to gain control over it — You would appear protecting your Truckers, and you’d screw OTHER (canada or USA) Truckers.
Canada appears to protect theirs and blocks America’s truckers = Goal achieved killing the economy
USA appears to protect their truckers and blocks Canada’s trucker = Goal achieved ^
The way to solve this is to not go into Canada or anywhere else that has such a mandate. When the shelves empty, things will change.
Not that it will matter, but this is a clear violation of the new NAFTA trade agreement. Will Xiden raise this? Ha-ha.
The USMCA replaced nafta.

It looks to me like the concerted plan of the gloablist cabal to totally shut down trade and economic activity worldwide is coming around the final bend, and the finish line is in sight. I think it will be coordinated with the peak panic over Ukraine and probably Taiwan, maybe plus one or two other flash points, or even with a very short and intense World War III that shuts down communications almost everywhere.
Anyone want to guess when the total shutdown will happen? My patience for this slow motion wreck is wearing very thin.
Election Fraud put Joe Biden in the White House.
Biden’s Vaccine Mandate on truckers will cripple the Supply Chain.
All this insanity is a direct result of millions and millions of citizens who have bought into the Covid fear porn and hysteria that is being spread 24/7. Incredibly, this is a direct result over a flu like illness that is 99.5% + survivable! I’m personally seeing some family and friends having severe reactions to these ‘vaccines’. They chose fear and hysteria over rational decision making. The herd is being culled. Even those who got this vaccine and had no immediate reaction are facing an insecure and unknown future. So be it.
Here is the best explanation for the layman you will ever see from a very knowledgeable and informed physician:

Cloward-Piven. It’s conspiracy fact, not theory. Funny thing though-we who know how to live frugally and locally will, with God’s help, fare better than the elites, whose lives are wholly dependent on the products of others’ labor.
Maybe someone has mentioned this already, but I would be very surprised if this is legal under the USA-Mexico-Canada trade agreement. I doubt the very competent Trump team would have missed codifying reciprocity in transportation.
