The cross border vaccine mandate for truckers in/out of Canada is now in effect. The U.S. vaccine mandate takes effect on January 22nd.
It will take a few days to see the consequences, but there will be consequences.
Keep in mind, any impact is taking place in a supply chain system that is already tenuous and unstable at best. A small disruption that may have been minimally significant against a fully operational supply chain, is more likely to be a much bigger disruption in a supply chain that is already under a severe amount of demand side stress. Somewhere in the range of 16,000 to 38,000 daily loads are likely to be impacted.
When questioned about this, Canadian Intergovernmental Affairs Minister Dominic Leblanc says the trucking industry “has had adequate time to prepare for this.” Keep in mind, the mandate was announced 45 days ago (November 30th). According to the Canadian government, changing the structural rules for all the logistics and commerce in cross border shipping, 45 days is enough notice. WATCH:
CANADA – […] “I think you probably won’t see that movement … that the government’s looking for,” retail expert Bruce Winder told CTV News Channel on Saturday when asked if the effort will encourage truckers to get vaccinated.
[…] The mandate throws a “major wrench” in the Canadian and North American supply chains, he added, with grocers, food producers, the auto parts industry and building materials among the sectors expected to be most affected.
“I really hope that we’re not at the stage where you see food insecurity, where you’re actually going to grocery stores and there’s nothing on the shelf,” Winder said. “That could be the worst-case scenario.”
Mike Millian, president of the Private Motor Truck Council of Canada, told CTV News Channel on Saturday that there were as many 23,000 vacancies at the end of the third quarter of 2021, with his group’s own studies showing that roughly 20 per cent of Canadian truck drivers operating across the border are unvaccinated.
[…] “If we remove a fifth of that workforce, we’re going to see shortages on shelves and we’re going to see inflation of prices, because the cost to bring this stuff here is going to go up.” (read more)
The truth is no one knows how bad the disruption will be. What we do know is that there will be disruption, and there is no infrastructure for a level of rig-switching at the border crossing region that could accommodate changing rigs, drop-offs and/or pick-ups or driver transfers on the scale that is being discussed. The logistics here are a total mess.
Keep your fingers crossed, but prepare for FUBAR.
We have a friend who drives for a trucking company. They have 10 drivers who go in to Canada, he is one. Company told them – you all must be vaxx’d. Seven (7) refusing… company now has 3 drivers (for Canada).

I don't know who you talked to that gave you that information, but it's logistically impossible to sustain. I've worked booking trucks across the border for 5yrs and it is significantly affected everyone involved. Many companies will go under if this is not reversed.

there is no room for it. The I-81 crossing at the St. Lawrence is near my home. You can't cross drop a load and then pick up there. Ever seen Windsor/Detroit? No way to do that there. How about the Rainbow bridge at the Falls? Nope, no room there.

Flagged ’cause this is totally on the wrong thread.
Flagged as well because I have no idea who this poster is or what these sites are that they are pushing!
Use the US Military to move these goods.
The Taliban just gave them the award for greatest Supply Branch in all history.
Yep! Eighty-Five Billion dollars of US Tax payer paid for equipment delivered in place!
DARPA AI was used for the supply chain analysis conducted by the CIA for equipping the post US force in Afghanistan.
thats party of what they want. normalize military on the streets. we are not a police state, USA. keep the military out of private bussiness. we do not need to have everything under government control.
You are missing the point. It’s not a question of hauling the goods but a problem of said cargo crossing the border for unjabs from either country. No areas large enough on either side of border crossings to deposit trailers while waiting for other county’s driver to pick up and deliver.
Sundance lays it out above and spells it out.

I think OCN was being facetious
Some people have no sense of humor.
Libtards have no sense of humor. At times some of the posters on this website remind me of having Libtard characteristics.
My active duty USN hubby just got recalled from leave and is on standby to deploy to the Ukraine. Shit’s hitting the fan folks.
Crap. I knew the coof war couldn’t satisfy the warbirds. Prayers to your family and him.
Oh Geez this thread will forever be planted on my mind. This will be known as the Armageddon exchange!!
So sorry to hear this!
Prayers up.
And thank you for the heads up.
Praying for y’all
So sorry to hear this.
Pray every day our disgusting Socialist military leaders get kicked out!
And whoever is pulling the strings in this false government!
More wag the dog to hide their schemes!
Since no news source I’ve found covers the real reasons that the Russians want the Ukraine and the West wants the Ukraine in NATO:
The Ukrainian natural gas pipelines are a source of supply for Western Europe that makes the threat of gas cutoff from the new (Brandon approved) Russian pipeline less potentially catastrophic. If the Ukraine became a part of NATO that would prevent Russia from “fixing” that problem. So, they make their move now or never.
Something that will probably prevent, at least for now, China from simultaneously taking Taiwan in order to face the Afghanistan withdrawal geniuses in the Pentagon with a two-front conflict is their COVID Olympics. If the Russians wait until after the Olympics ae over…
No one is going to work in gov rigs into their logistics dispatch system. That would completely hose your system, for many reasons.
And there’s not a significant number of military drivers that could make up the difference.
And I ain’t letting some National Guard puke run my Kenworth! Most of them have never run a 13 speed, and no one’s learning in my truck!
D’oh Canada!
Not ready for FUBAR, who ever is? Life will find a way. Thank you so very much for keeping us informed as to the timing of these things so we can be as prepared as possible for the impact;
Also, there’s no way this disruption of supplies into our nation is not part of the re-set plan.
Your wisdom and honesty, so often expressed in your comments, is very much appreciated.
It’s going to hurt Canadians worse IMO. We really heavily on food stocks from USA from veg to canned goods on a daily basis. That’s how the chain works, just in time.
I’ve stocked for years but I’ll be picking up more.

Of course it is part of the re-set plan. Also, part of the diversion plan for staying out of jail as a result of the fraudulent election. None of this would be happening had Trump been rightly seated in the Oval office.
Every time someone complains about the economy, supply chains, whatever, remind them that a stolen election is the cause. People have to get this concept! None of this FUBAR crap could happen without a stolen election.
These morons discuss this issue as if the “vaccine” actually any effect on the spread of Kovid.
Stupid must be a qualification for government positions. Perhaps the only qualification.
Government folks need some serious tatoos inside their eyelids: “Vaccinated are spreading Covid!”
• How many people decide that they – themselves(!) – have “public health (or whatever …) “authority?”
• How many people, at that time, have ever heard the phrase: “practical consequences?”
• How many people, thereafter, survive?
• “Answer: Zero.”
Come to think of it … as “this whole entire ‘global’ thing becomes utterly and completely unraveled, in one-after-the-other actually not-so-‘global’ place around this planet … I don’t know whether to laugh or to cry.
I simply hope that the world(!) community will right now learn a lesson … a lesson that it must never forget.
Aaaaaaaaaaaand, here at home, south of the border an uncomfortably large swath of the American public are on board with any or all of the following to be inflicted on the unvaccinated:

~ put in camps
~ remove their children
~ fines
~ jail

Union Pacific RR is threatening to boycott Los Angeles County if the radical-left DA doesn’t start prosecuting the thieves:
The “you’ve had 45 days to prepare” isn’t about the companies finding workarounds. It’s a government acting like a bad parent making threats to the children, “I warned you…”
I honestly hope TSHTF next week. It’s time.
It’s about the only thing that will get some people’s attention – when their stomachs start growling.

It is very simple. Get enough people’s attention and Trump comes back with his MAGA.
In the parent theme, I’m tired of governments saying the equivalent of “Because I said so!”.
They are not our parents, they are our employees.

They dont want to get blamed ( too late ) so a massive destabilization provides cover for their escape ?
Oh, you are right over the target.
The left are quickly approaching the perfect storm, covid and vax lies beginning to surface, 2022 midterms, and PDJT breathing down their necks.
We’ve pulled drugs off the market and punished drug companies over far fewer adverse reactions.
Who will accept this information even a little bit? It’s obvious, evidence abounds, but cognitive dissonance is incredibly powerful.
Yes…and so is the normalcy bias…it’s keeping many deaf, dumb, and blind.
Great, the excuse will be back for lockdowns and 24/7 oxygen deprivation and rationed healthcare whatever else tyranny they couldn’t deploy once the noxines were rushed out. Interested in how they treat the up-and-coming shots…..especially any that show signs of actual effectiveness. Crushed like therapeutics were? Unlike President Trump, they don’t seem to like actual economic recovery.
This is not about anybody’s health.
IDK Sherri perhaps the good folks in the Biden admin are so concerned with Covid they’re forcing Americans to lose weight. Sorry that was a bad joke.
The AG for Missouri, Eric Schmitt, said much the same thing on Maria Bartiromo’s Sunday show. It was refreshing to see it on a mainstream channel.

Then why wait to share your soon-to-be desperately-needed recipe(s) when Treepers could have it/them now?! It doesn’t seem right, does it? If you think it seems right, then stop reading and shame on you! If you think it doesn’t seem right, then I think you’ll see there’s no choice but to share a receipe with us now.
I left a link to your comments for Menagerie. She’s a whiz at this kind of stuff!
Oh my gosh, I probably should have put a “sarc” symbol. I was just messing w/mr. piddles.

Sorry for any confusion and thanks for being so sweet as to try to help me out, as if you don’t have a zillion comments coming at you from a bunch of posts, to read. You’re a good guy (gal? dunno)!
OK, I won’t give you a recipe, but I will tell you to look up the menu of The Grit restaurant in Athens Georgia…
Check out their golden bowl with cheese! Tofu can be made good! It took me years to figure out how they did it, but I finally did…I haven’t been there in six or seven years, so I hope it is still in business, it had been there for at least 20 years prior to that.
Sorry, mr.piddles!
My teenage son absolutely loves the baked teriyaki tofu recipe at the Connoisseurus Veg blog (and the sauce freezes well in ice cube tray portions).
Wow, this is quite illuminating. I think it’s going to turn out that a lot of Treepers and/or family members of Treepers eat tofu. Who knew?! I can’t stand it and pray I won’t have to make it a centerpiece of my diet in the coming weeks. As for the Connoissuerus Veg Blog, with a name like that I had to check it out. I find that photos of vegan or other restricted diets (heck, even emergency and/or camping food) often looks so delicious in the professional photos, but when I try to eat it, it doesn’t taste nearly as good as it looks (or sounds).
You eat tofu?
I’ve been eating tofu for almost 30 years.
It’s similar to mushrooms in that it has no real taste of its own but can take on the flavor of what you cook it with.
I have even made cheesecake with it.
Cheesecake? Ok, that’s nuts… I might have to look that up just for S’s & G’s.
I never thought I’d see the day that a treeper was begging for a tofu recipe 🤣😂😹

I refuse to invite a full and proper Internet Flaming upon myself compliments the Tofu Hesitant at large, which, let’s be honest, constitutes the majority of the U.S. population.

I’m totally good with tofu. I like it pan fried but Mapo tofu is excellent too.
Hey Treeps, am seeing a sandy possibility here…
buy some..let TPTB think we have succumbed to veganism…for kicks find that teriyaki recipe listed below and try it…but after a while, go back to one’s normal meat diet…
Can someone please tell me what the US/domestic mandate is or means?
A: It means about a Trillion per year for Tony and the Big Pharma Gangsters.
Truckers being regulated and required to be vaccinated to transport goods inside our borders.
Federal regulation, like DOT rules, driving time limits, weights and such. Truckers must be vaccinated by 1/22/22 or they cannot drive.
I have tried explaining it to some folks, and they simply couldn’t connect the dots. Truckers? Canada? “What has that got to do w/me?” *Sigh*
Those same people will be calling you a hoarder soon
Today: “Conspiracy theorist!”
Next month: “Selfish hoarder!”
Isn’t that the truth. At least I’ve got my family red pilled when it comes to storing away for a rainy day. Not just food items either.

My apology – my sight is really going downhill and I thought that last was a punchline.
As in, “brewery!”
sooooooo frustrating.
I know the feeling. It’s “too complicated, I don’t have time to track all this stuff and it’s probably just a temporary thing”. The same people could give details about sports-who was traded and when, player stats, team history. They don’t connect the dots cause they don’t want to!
That’s more true than some might know. I had someone about a week ago ask me what “Let’s Go Brandon” meant.
“they simply couldn’t connect the dots”
tell them they won’t be able to get that peach yogurt they like to have in the morning
Appreciate it, SD I read you several times a day. I was very familiar with the cross border Canada/US going online this Saturday. But if I am reading your reply correctly you are saying all truckers in the US period must be vaccinated? Surely that cannot be and not sure how I missed this if that is the case. If it is my Lord we are most definitely FUBAR!! Again if I am reading that correctly this is a nightmare scenario. 😳
Who is the Transporation Secretary?
Oh Dear God!! Then here we go this a doomsday scenario!! Well the left is getting ready to get what they wished for. I knew the bastards would but I also knew we would suffer alongside them. I hope this falls on there head like an anvil.
If only they could get what they voted/cheated for without us getting it too. 😡
I dont know, but I think there is firm support for trucker mandates.
From who?
His handle tells you everything you have to know”i am Not Sure”
I haven’t talked to one person who supports trucker mandates. But I quit talking to dumb and stupid people so my take on it can be skewed.
Dawg,
Smart move to quit talking to such people. It’s really good for your blood pressure to limit your conversation with Rats or fools (but I repeat myself) because their inability to see reason can be tremendously frustrating.
Firm support from non-truckers! You better start buying your macaroni and cheese……tomorrow!
Agreed! The NWO is definitely in the affirmative column.
This article says:
Not all trucks in the USA. Joebama doesn’t have that authority, even if he thinks he does.

Hope his C-section scar healed up nicely with all that manternity leave.
Did the SC decision not have any bearing on this. And besides who is going to enforce this. I find it hard to think they can make all the states check all these trucks at each state weigh station,there is not room for all the trucks. I know Fed highway dollars, but the states can still say go fly a kite.
Keep this is mind. Frankfurt School Critical Theory stipulates that social institutions have to be destroyed as a first step. Once people loose faith in their traditional beliefs about liberty and freedom—measured by increasingly permissive allowances for property crimes . . . then this greatly enhances the ability of Socialist revolutionaries to re-construct society along lines that they favor—there’s no room for Liberty and Freedom in their utipian idea of a “proper” society. Beware, Treepers!
They have been working hard, on our children…for over 30+ years….longer actually.
Only problem is: “There are estimated to be over 400 million guns in the United States between police, the military, and American civilians. Over 393 Million (Over 98%) of those guns are in civilian hands, the equivalent of 120 firearms per 100 citizens. The average gun owning American has 5 firearms, while nearly 22% of gun owners only have a single firearm.”
Does anyone recall Xiden’s idea for stopping people at state borders and demanding “papers”? Not to mention the taxation per mile in the BBB bill. I understand the industry is working overtime on driverless trucks. No need for pesky vacs there now, right?
That’s no different from the OSHA mandate?! Domestic too, or only cross-border?
Thank you Sundance!
It’s..it’s… almost like this was intended.
This has nothing to do with public health. Sooner or later, people will realize this. I just hope it’s sooner than later.
I peeked in a Hampton Roads moms FB page, and many many outraged moms against Youngkin and his positive changes for VA. We got a long way to go to school these sheeple.
The juice boxes we give our boys (the only ones the local store carries ‘reliably’ not owned by Coca-cola) come from Canada. One of my kitchen cabinets currently looks like a daycare supply cabinet.
No more Canadian bacon then?
It’s a diversion for something more sinister. Everybody and their mother will be hitting Costco this week buying up toilet paper, as Joey Bribes handlers do the cooking.
Not everyone reads the CTH Al lol. Trust me most of them won’t figure it out until stuff is gone would be my bet.
Mainstream Media has been slow-rolling out the Really Bad News. Interestingly, saw a little clip the other night… maybe it was on Fox, dunno… about “emergency food supplies”. They haven’t come right out and said the poop’s about to hit the fan… but they’ll be at DEFCON 2 by the end of the month.
Judging by my local Costco, most people here are in the dark.
And Alfred E Buttegeig is still busy breast feeding to know anything while FJB thinks hes the great uniter and is lived adored by the nation. Kammy is just oblivious as usual. Meanwhile their handlers -the real government right now- are licking their chops at how great the great reset is coming along. There will be a political reckoning for all of them and I hope a societal one as well. But right now we are being governed by a marxist shadow government willing to burn it all down.
“Just a little reminder for all you sexy big riggers out there… if you’re gonna park your truck on the side of the road to protest the mandates, don’t forget to put your orange cones out! Safety first, fellas! (Tee hee, ain’t he so cute?)”
Freaking Buttigieg. Useless.
Intentional. Remember this.
Given that Trump, POTUS 45 came roaring in like the lion he is…made so many impactful changes where the good citizens, average middle class folks…ya know the caste class “they” want to annihilate, felt improvements in in less than 2 short years…and we liked it.
I believe this is why the massive and speedy push for rapidly declining freedoms. The enemy did not anticipate the rapidity with which Americans prospered under our POTUS 45. And Americans liked it.
The limousine libs class hate us.
They have to stop the movement, fast.
Nothing but a power grab. As the Biden gang destroys the economy in the name of protection against covid and at the same time they fly infected illegals in the dead of night to unsuspecting communities all over the US to insure its spread.
Truck drivers! I’m in the U.S. and I’m in the “laptop class”. I want to know how I can help YOU if you need to resist mandates of any sort. Money? Housing? Communication? Street demonstrations? Picket lines to join?
I hope you are not alone. As I am willing and able to help.If they park their trucks,they will need food,transport and a way to get home.
That’s a start. Let’s get them where they need to go. Not sure how people can contact me but replying inline right here is a start. I’m striking distance from Snoqualmie Pass and Stevens Pass on the Seattle side.
I have mentioned this before but there is also this misconception that the vaccines reduce transmission! They think we are being selfish and not doing our part for the community.
The unvaccinated doctor mentioned it in this video Sundance posted:
https://theconservativetreehouse.com/blog/2022/01/08/u-k-anesthetist-dr-steve-james-tells-british-health-secretary-the-mandatory-vaccination-rules-make-no-sense-for-those-with-natural-immunity/
Also this was brought up in this hand-wringing article explaining painstakingly why they are not vaccinated while being Democrat:
https://www.coryzue.com/writing/coming-clean/
“I concluded that there was a benefit to being vaccinated to protect those around me, but that it might be short-lived—or require boosting—to stay above a compelling threshold. And also that I could likely do just as much to protect those around me by continuing to only see people outside, wear a mask, etc.”
Also, on the non-political board I visit occasionally that has coastal lefties, there is a post and thread about vaccine mandates for restaurants. One poster recently commented how in Boston the mayor is destroying the restaurant industry now with mandates for a virus with 99.96% recovery rate. They suggested boycott then. I’m sure this poster is going to get his butt handed to him by the coastal lefties. But another poster there said they will not eat in a restaurant unless there is a mandate, they would not be comfortable. This is all based on vaccines providing so-called immunity and reducing transmission, which as far as I can read, is all lies. There was some protection with Alpha but that is the only variant that the vaccines are really good for.
These people are in for a rude awakening. Luckily, though, the Omricon should have a very low death rate.
It’s about to get real.
Those who have studied world history know what happened when the French monarchy, upon being told the people have no bread, said, “Let them eat cake.”
Starvation has never gone well in populations throughout history.
Leaders can quickly pay for that with their lives.
We did our best, we tried, didn’t even phase them when Cantor went down, just a blip on their radar. They didn’t listen, they have continued to ignore the will of the people, for most of my life. So let them meet their fate.
Good post!!
Yep … just a ‘ one off ‘ , nothing to see here , isolated incident .
Schneider Transport to shutter Canadian operations , Guleph , Ont. property for sale.
trucknews.com
SparrowHawk: Well done, Schneider!
Wow Schneider is a major player in trucking
The government official obviously knows almost nothing about Covid or the vaccines, the resistance at this point of the unvaxxed, or about transportation logistics, trucking, the number of unvaxxed truckers, the huge horrendous snarl of the whole system this mandate is going to cause. He’s thinking that truckers will “see the light” that they will then take the vaccine, a vaccine that doesn’t stop Covid infection or prevent a vaccinated person from spreading Covid. Many of these truckers will have already had Covid and are immune, but he is making no allowance for truckers with immunity.
And though I would like to be positive, the whole system is very likely to collapse, unless the government officials quickly learn a lesson – but it will be a lesson at the expense of their people/our people.
If you work long hours as a trucker bringing goods across the northern border to keep people fed, you will be stopped cold and thrown out of work.
If you are an illegal alien from anywhere on the planet and get across our southern border, you will be put up in accommodations, fed, given pocket money and likely a free plane ride anywhere in the country.
I’m wondering though if rather than run product across the border, said truckers can simply run domestic loads given the dearth of available drivers on either side? If as trucking industry folks are saying we’re short 80K drivers in the States, while it might take a minute, can’t said cross-border drivers find loads elsewhere?
Some may eventually, but how much disruption will there be until they find another job? If the company they work for only carries across the border, then they have no choice but to find another job.
The bigger issue will be the massive disruption in commerce until this is sorted out. Not only a disruption to those drivers, but to anyone supporting them, companies waiting on goods to get delivered to them, etc.
If 1,000 trucks cross a border per day delivering goods, imagine the disruption when only 100 trucks a day cross.
I notice my amazon prime orders (cat food that I can’t get locally) are delayed by at least a week. 2 day shipping is long gone. Yet I was still charged full price to re-up my membership.
I suspect your cat food is feeding rats along the tracks, hence the delay 😉
chewy.com
They are awesome and cheaper than Amazon
There is an Amazon distribution warehouse in my town, so I sometimes get things overnight with Prime. Outside of prime it’s spotty at best, especially if people ship usps
Friend of mine drives OTR and he can quit at breakfast and have a new gig by lunch they’re in such high demand. But he’s US only.
I agree though, it’s more about the ripple effect and delays in the system.
Makes perfect sense, no? Fits right in with this competent POTUS and SCOTUS!
Yep, when PDJT gets back in office, he needs to have Justice Thomas choose his next SCOTUS pick…
It is my opinion that Brandon’s really bad, bad , super bad week has him lashing out to make us pay for his failures. He’s un-hinged at this point. Prepared and don’t care what that plick does. FJB. That said, I care for every American… All of you! Please get ready late or not.
Pray. Prepare. Resist. Vive la Revolution!
I should see how this affects business rather soon, we usually handle hundreds of cross-border shipments a day in both directions, although we are not much involved in domestic shipping.
Domestic drayage rates (port to warehouse) are through the roof even before this (maybe in anticipation of), almost every lane is up at least 50% on its base cost from last January, some are up more than 100%.
The diversity crowd is running the world and is not working. Woke left loves their college theories until it flops in real life then, they blame climate change.
Or the unvaxxed/Trump supporters/white supremacy.
No mandate for domestic trucking – it was struck down by the SCOTUS and the last time I checked, truckers are not health care workers.
United States Department of Transportation. DOT regulations, not OSHA.
This is not part of the OSHA mandate for businesses which was struck down. According to Sundance, it is a “Federal regulation, like DOT rules, driving time limits, weights and such. Truckers must be vaccinated by 1/22/22 or they cannot drive.”
Do we know if this DOT regulation is only for truckers that cross State lines?
If intrastate, wouldn’t those regulations have to come individually from each State’s own DOT?
It’s for non-U.S. nationals (neither residents nor citizens of the United States) who cross into the United States from another country to deliver items.
The new rule does NOT apply to all truckers (see below); it affects non-U.S. nationals (people who are neither residents nor citizens of the United States) who must cross into the United States from another country to deliver items. I’m not saying it’s a good thing, by any means, but thankfully, it’s not all truckers.
US to require truckers crossing US border to be fully vaccinated, starting in January
by Grace Kay and Associated Press – Nov 23, 2021, 4:43 PM
President Joe Biden will require all truck drivers who cross US land borders to be fully vaccinated by January 22, the administration planned to announce on Tuesday.
The mandate will apply to all essential, nonresident travelers crossing US land borders, including government and emergency response officials.
The decision comes at the same time that the US is facing major supply chain snags — including a shortage of truck drivers. The American Trucking Association warned earlier this month that vaccine mandates for truckers could worsen the supply-chain crisis.
“The US is already facing unprecedented supply chain disruptions and delays due to many factors, including significant labor shortages, production shutdowns, a shortage of raw materials, and pent-up consumer demand,” the ATA said in a letter to the administration in October. “Our data shows that a vaccine mandate may very well further cripple the supply chain throughout the country by forcing up to 13% of drivers to leave the industry entirely,” the group added.
A senior administration official said the new requirement, which the White House previewed in October, brings the rules for essential travelers in line with those that took effect earlier this month for leisure travelers, when the US reopened its borders to fully vaccinated individuals.
Essential travelers entering by ferry will also be required to be fully vaccinated by the same date, the official said. The official spoke to The Associated Press on the condition of anonymity to preview the announcement.
The rules pertain to non-US nationals. American citizens and permanent residents may still enter the US regardless of their vaccination status, but face additional testing hurdles because officials believe they more easily contract and spread COVID-19 and in order to encourage them to get a shot.
The Biden administration pushed the requirement for essential travelers by more than two months from when it went into effect on November 8 to prevent disruptions, particularly among truck drivers who are vital to North American trade. While most cross-border traffic was shut down in the earliest days of the pandemic, essential travelers have been able to transit unimpeded.
The later deadline is beyond the point by which the Biden administration hopes to have large businesses require their employees to be vaccinated or tested weekly under an emergency regulation issued by the Occupational Health and Safety Administration. That rule is now delayed by litigation, but the White House has encouraged businesses to implement their own mandates regardless of the federal requirement with the aim of boosting vaccination.
About 47 million adults in the US remain unvaccinated, according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.

So if this below is accurate, seems like a lot of push on compliance,for basically a number that could people that are between the the ages 18-21
“About 47 million adults in the US remain unvaccinated, according to figures from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention.”
DOR# 135 and holding.
Thank you; have relatives in other States who deliver, but only within their respective States, and are not vaccinating.
So ALL imports from Mexico too. Doesn’t that mean most of our produce and a hell of a lot of food, not to mention cars parts and who knows what else?
I quoted a similar article earlier. Sundance needs to clarify his original post. The rule does not seem to apply to all US drivers, only those that cross international borders.
All this BS for a flu!
What flu is it?
The WuFlu.
Wuhan Tony Fauci Virus or WTF Virus for short.
This is part of the plan to reset. They are slowly trying to strangle us. “You will have nothing and be happy.” – Klaus Schwab
I forgot- FJB
Just connecting some dots ….. that site – Trucknews.com – has many articles on the coming ” future ” of trucking.
EV – electric trucks , and eventually driverless …… phase out of that dirty diesel fuel is clearly the goal.
Never happen. First you got to build them,than you have to have the infrastructure in place. They can not even make a Tesla work right.
Will this disruption of the supply chain be the reason Biden uses to militarize our highways, using this disruption as an excuse to activate the US military inside the country?
So how will this affect the US ? Seems like it will hurt Canada more as US truckers wont be able to haul goods into Canada if not vaxxed. How much goods does the US actually import from Canada…?
A lot of building supplies are imported.
Did you watch the Fed Up Canuck TikTok Sundance included?
It’s a trucker and he mentions what he dropped off and what he was returning with and he will not be driving with a “vaccine” mandate.
One thing this means is that a large Black Market will soon come into existence on both sides of the border.
Or bartering. I’ve got 60 cans of soup with 2023 and 2024 expiration dates…
Maybe this is why the IRS is telling people to claim the value of stolen goods on taxes. /s
And tons of food from/through Mexico – produce.
In 2020 Canada exported over $280 billion in goods.
The big categories were: oil, vehicles, machinery, wood, plastics.
Smaller items of note: $5 billion in pharmaceuticals; $4 billion in cereal starch, flour & dairy;$2.8 billion in fertilizer; $2.7 billion in meat; $2.5 billion in edible vegetables
All combined food & beverage products are over $17 billion.
Canada is our largest trading partner, and the US is as well to Canada.
For the remaining people who are asleep, this will JOLT them WIDE AWAKE.
SLEEPING SHEEP NO MORE.

Good grief! That Canadian government dude said the “best way out of the pandemic is vaccination “ When are the dumb people going to wake up?? This so called vaccine is poison.
If this vaccine was sooooo good, how come they gotta threaten us to take it???
They have to threaten us to take it because it’s not good. That has been obvious for many, many months.
Best way out is to let it rip. Omicron is the off ramp, but they don’t want one. They love it.
Let it rip = remove all of the mandates.
Canadians largely do not want to wake up. They want big government to take care of them. They really don’t care how. They also love to have their bellies rubbed and told they’re better than those redneck Americans. Liberal politicians are absolute experts at that, and it keeps Canadians compliant and docile.
Canadians are about to get a very hard lesson in “be careful what you wish for.” One hopes that my fellow Canucks retain enough self awareness to learn it. As the weeks progress we will see. I am not terribly optimistic.
I think it’s going to get bad, very bad, up here and stay that way much longer than it should. Canadians’ first reactions will be to lash out at the unvaccinated, then demand that government save them, and the government will respond not by reversing the policy but by taking on more emergency powers. Which of course will make things worse. Then you’ll get a rinse & repeat; unvax take more blame, government do something!, government does, makes things worse again.
Eventually things will get bad / chaotic enough that .. well, that’s the real trouble. Create enough chaos and everything becomes unpredictable.
Politics is downstream from culture and also from reality. While certainly some pols at the top know this is medical BS and are truly aiming for the Great Reset, far too many are simply stupid and ignorant, having not a clue about the current, readily available knowledge regarding the utter uselessness of these injections.
All over the world, the politicians are deathly afraid of admitting their utter failure over Covid because hundreds of thousands (maybe millions) have died without being allowed access to proven treatments OR from the mandated deadly jabs.
How do you apologize for the deaths of millions of people YOU caused? All of the dead have surviving loved ones.
Many next of kin will demand a reckoning with the evil monsters responsible for these unnecessary deaths.
Politicians and gubmint employees all over the world are deathly afraid of admitting they’re wrong or they failed, regardless of the issue. They are obsessed with being in charge, are loath to give it up, and only want more power and control, over everything and everyone.
Mandating that hundreds of millions of people across two nations take a vaccine that doesn’t work for a virus that’s totally overblown with a 99.9% survival rate! I’m speechless.
I really don’t want to be on the road with an 18 wheeled operator that could very well suddenly have heart issues related to the jab.. We have enough problems with operators and loads of foreign nationalist stuffed in the trailers.. it’s a mess when the wreck
Not to mention being on a plane when it happens to pilots!
Disturbing. Truckers can build jobs and haul within America across states. I buy American whenever I can, and I will ramp it up. Seriously do we need from Canada? The Mexico imports we can drop them at the Canada border wall if they want them.. or Canada can go get their own stuff. Setting up a trade war. FJB and that Canadian Justin dweeb.
What seriously do we need from Canada?
Truckers, you don’t have to comply. MAGA
Trains?
🎯
While I completely support buying domestic whenever possible, have you seen the regulations that China Joe has put back into effect? It’s one of the reasons the economy is where it’s at. Production costs are higher because components cost more as does energy as does shipping.
Also, we are in no way capable of supporting the US economy with domestic supply. It really is a world market now. I would love to see manufacturing in a far stronger position but FJB started crippling it again as soon as he took office.
Well then, the USA needs to become self-sufficient, with everything. That will take a while, but that should be the goal. Why should we have to be dependent on stuff from other countries? We should not. If an item critical for making something here in the USA is only available from lower Slobovia, for example, let’s find a work around.
President Trump tried that.
$280 billion in goods in 2020.
The USA is fairly self-sufficient, but this will be a big disruption. We import over $50 billion in oil.
My one wish is that during all of this suffering, Democrats get destroyed forever, This is on them.
I’m praying that GOD uses this situation to wake people up and to get rid of the communists in charge of this disaster.
And complicit globalist RINO’s.
The entire Uniparty and all its apparatus needs to be flushed down the drain.
They will, they got to eat and buy at the same places they want to close, And their big city enclaves are about to burn to the ground, when the food dries up.
Even evil is a necessary part of His plan at times, maybe for the very reason you state.
It has been Trumps goal since the escalator ride.
Full shelves in the suburbs of Vancouver today at the big chain grocery stores and Walmart. As usual though many of the vitamin and supplement shelves were partially empty at Walmart. Zinc seems to always be sold out, but that’s the way it usually is there. Still available most other places.
I am truly frightened for what this first domino to fall is going to trigger. When food and supplies become scarce or nonexistent, desperate people will do whatever it takes to feed their families. When stores and restaurants have nothing to offer, they will begin closing and letting their employees go. I see crime, unemployment and inflation skyrocketing. Pray for our country.
“The cross border vaccine mandate for truckers in/out of Canada is now in effect. ”
Not sure about that.
https://www.reuters.com/world/americas/canadian-truckers-stay-exempt-covid-19-vaccine-requirements-2022-01-13/
From three days ago – FTA
“Canada will allow unvaccinated Canadian truckers to cross in from the United States, reversing a decision requiring all truckers to be inoculated against the coronavirus, Canada’s border agency said on Wednesday.”
“The Canada Border Services Agency (CBSA) said that unvaccinated, or partially vaccinated Canadian truck drivers arriving at the U.S.-Canada border will remain exempt from pre-arrival, arrival and post-arrival testing and quarantine requirements.”
“However, truckers from the United States will still need to be vaccinated or they will be turned back at the border from Jan. 15, a CBSA spokesperson said.”
They reversed that announcement less than 12 hrs later.
fyi.
I see that now.
It’ll be interesting to see which country is hurt most by vaccine border rules.
Again I can’t do it because I have no access to sloppy Joe.
I want someone in the media to ask him-
By now everyone that wanted to be vaccinated in the US is vaccinated.
So what is the US government going to do with the people that refuse to take the “vaccination”?
There are three choices.
Don’t let him waffle. Don’t let him change the subject. Demand an answer. It has gotten to that point. How many years/months has this been going on. We all have to move on with life at some point.
Also, what they are doing in Australia, Italy, Quebec and elsewhere. Incrementally inflict as much logistical, financial and psychological damage. Confine them, tax them, shame them, isolate them, tighten the screws till they submit. And if still resistant, freeze bank accounts, monitor them with electronic devices, refuse medical assistance. Then, concentration camps. And finally, forced injections. ‘For the public good. ‘
Might just end that as “could save you.” Period.
I love that!
We can’t go through life being afraid to live. The free markets will find alternative solutions. This is a trarnsportation challenge. Top of mind there two alternatives to trucking:
1) Rail
2) Great Lakes container ships to Duluth/Superior, Milwaukee, Chicago, Gary, DetroitCleveland, Erie
3) Seattle and Vancouver
Things will be uncomfortable for a while: markets will find a way
Black Markets will come into existence instantaneously.
USCG and liberal appointees in all the above named cities….run those ports?
“Despite the dedication and best efforts over many years, Canadian-based operations do not fit within Schneider’s long-term strategic focus. This decision was difficult. The change will affect all 150 Canadian-based associates and drivers. We are working with associates during the transition.
Company trucks and equipment will transfer to our U.S.-based network to continue to serve our customers and as we proceed with the sale of the Guelph, Ont., property. We expect Schneider will no longer have Canadian-based operations by the end of March. We have notified all our Canadian associates and will remain in regular communication with them over the coming months.”

Wow. This is huge.
And very sad
This can be quite disruptive, such a huge move.
Will everyone be willing to move?
Will they find enough workers to hire in the US?
I guess we will wait and see.
Over 140,000 trucks cross the border each day;
Schneider would be far less than 0.1%, it is indicative of the larger picture.
And what are the deeper unintended consequences of this?
