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.

God Bless the truckers who have chosen to stand on this hill. May God protect, provide and sustain each one of you.
At some point, when the elite are denied their wine or other essentials (sarcasm), it must become obvious how their demands are for naught.
Stand tough, truckers. Your health is your own. As the man said, “Stock up!”
Shut them down down Teamsters stand strog
exactly. stop with all the slinking away into the night and saying good luck.
take ACTION and shut this GD thing down with a blockade TODAY. Otherwise this notion that the truckers are the next savior is just another lie that helped us stand on the sidelines waiting for someone else to do the dirty work.
My truck is parked in the barn ……yours?
i’m not a trucker. confused by your question?
You’re ready to DO SOMETHING! What are YOU doing!
each of us has a set of gears we control, do we not?
fascinated by these types of responses… in the same way that I dont reside in AZ, my ability to compel that government to do something about vote fraud is limited. that has to be done by the citizens of AZ.
Should I rest assured that its okay I am doing nothing because you aren’t either?
No wonder we are where we are.
So I guess we each need to look at our individual circumstance and determine our own line in the sand, and decide how we can refuse to support this evil juggernaut that is determined to quash our rights. It will be a different line and different set of actions (or inaction,) for each of us. We are unique individuals and there is a job for each of us. But we do need to appreciate and respect each other. To do otherwise is to fall into the hands of those who would destroy liberty. “We must hang together or we will assuredly hang separately.”
Lol! Word salad. Nice try. Cya
Yep, trucker or not, we can all do something. It’s OK not to broadcast it because the enemy lurks here.
Those of us who’ve serviced the trucking industry and shared the roads of this great Republic with them, we are with you. Be safe out there and God bless.
Just my horses… I wish I could do what you guys are doing! At my age there is very (very) little sand I can throw in the gears.. But I do what little I can..
You seem to think that American Owner Operators can just park their $200,000 Tractor/Trailer on some bridge and just walk away from it ! Not quite that easy !
LET’S GO BRANDON !
Isn’t it time you fools quit voting Liberal and Democrat? Wake up. They are your and our problem. Good grief. If you are not one who supports them then talk to your neighbours. They have to know who is responsible for this ridiculous BS. We will be ensuring our children and grandchildren know as we fight for a future for them.
I do agree. give them a true taste of what this really is, take a week off and back up the system. We do not know what the true affect of this will be, but we are going to find out very quickly.
the other man said “arm up”
The elites are never denied their essentials or pleasures. They always have paths for those needs. be it the government’s hidden procurement or the black markets. Think of the old Soviet Union, while the people starved, the elites lived in luxury. If you think Soros, Bezo, Gates or Zuckerberg are going without, you are fooling yourself.
Having economic illiterates in power is painful to watch…always.
Also the inability to use common sense. They act like rig switching is the same thing as meeting your sister in a parking lot to give back some tupperware… sheeeese!!!
It would appear it’s stupidity. It’s not.
pits willfull and intentional and intentional.
Systematic destruction of the food supply chain, meant to cause mass starvation.
Stockpile beans, rice, salt and oil to survive any eventuality.
It would appear to some who are naive it’s stupidity. It’s not.

how much of that do we get from Canada??
I don’t think they are illiterate.
I think this is by design.
I think the black market will rise up……
I was thinking the same.
Back under Prohibition in the US there were massive fortunes made by smugglers.
That was the foundation of the Kennedy fortune.
It would be amusing if the Southern border was the inroad for massive black market ops.
The black market/parallel economy’s threat is one reason for that $600 transaction scrutiny from the IRS and the addition of tens of thousands of agents. They know.
True, but only if you put the money in the bank for them to see it. Cash has its advantages. If it’s never in the bank, they have no way of scrutinizing it.
When paper blows away, metal will reign.
All demonRAT’s are “economic illiterates”.
Virtually none have worked in the private sector … and think raising taxes will fix anything … zero understanding how tax dollars are generated.
The leaders do understand economics and do the opposite of what’s good for the country and Americans. Their minions just go along with whatever their told. What’s happening is not a mistake, it’s a plan being carried out.
We are run by a Uniparty 1 system. Both beholden to the Beast, controlled by those who pledge allegiance to that crappy country in the Middle East. Done voting. I hate both parties with equal disdain.
They’re not illiterate. This is being done on purpose, knowing exactly what the outcome will be. Planned demolition of the country.
I posted this in a reply, but I’ll post it here for more visibility:
“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.” (https://americangunfacts.com/gun-ownership-statistics/)
And I will add, that there are millions of guns that are not accounted for. I will stop short of saying “bring it” because war is evil and innocent people die. But, I *will* die standing and not on my knees.

Finally I’m above average in something! Praise God for our God given 2nd Amendment right!
If the shooting starts it first will be inner city shooting each other for food.
Next the mob boils out to ravage the suburbs….
Yes and the jackboots will be tasked towards protecting the tyrants responsible for the hungry mobs they created. Same as it ever was.
Security for joe taxpayer will become an uncompensated local affair. Think night watchmen comprised of what men remain in your local community taking turns while the other men sleep and go to work. In addition, a militia call up will also be needed if the community needs muster a force capable of fighting off a larger and/or more organized criminal force.
Still, I prefer the above over jackboots going door to door rounding up the patriots that remain. Between protecting the tyrants and attempt to stop food riots the jackboots will have their hands full. Funny thing is they can stop it by just stepping aside and letting the hungry hoards take out and string up the Tyrants.
It was interesting to see the way gangs rose to the recent challenge/opportunity in CA and NY.
They went from a few kids doing a snatch and grab at a Target to 6 to 10 cars filled with operatives stripping clean high end luxury goods stores with NO challenge to their actions.
That boys and girls is the future for Whole Foods, Stop & Shop and every other grocery store as well as for Amazon trucks, food trucks, I see highway blockades with loaded trucks stolen outright.
Is the NWO goal to get people to cry out for a national police force to save them from these attacks? Because I don’t think that is what will happen. I believe in most states the NG will be called out to protect truck convoys, Amazon will hire armed guards, life will get very interesting.
What will be most interesting is every gated community is going to be attacked by organized gangs taking advantage of the chaos. And they will definitely go after every swell’s household in CA, NY, etc.
I wonder if a highly entrepreneurial gang will decide go after the very, very rich is Seattle, in Oregon? I see this as likely if this lasts more than a month, Buckle up Buttercup.
I assume they ran their war games with their usual yes men and thought that the outcome of creating famine would be a helpless people begging for govt intervention.
I think what they will get instead is wholesale gang rule in the blue states and well organized militias in every state, all armed to the teeth. Sort of a national OK Corral on crack. Then the PTB will go for Martial Law and cancel the midterms.
I wonder how the now totally pissed off citizens would respond to this further seizure of power by the Biden cabal? China, Russia, all of the ME must have popcorn stocked to the rafter for this.
There was no challenge because store employees, and every one else in the big cities, are not armed and if they were, would be prosecuted for murder in they filled the doorway with looters.
I don’t think they will enjoy the ‘burbs’ much. Different people and mindset. Not ready for B.s.
Depends on which burbs. The Prius driving burbs might not do so well.
We have prepared for this. We have not trusted our government in a very long time, and we know that some day our government will turn on us. This is history repeating itself, the way all the great societies have been destroyed by the greed for money and power by their governments.
What we see happening in DC with those arrested for 1/6 is seemly the future for freedom loving Americans. We are not organized, so they will pick us off one by one. They control the media, so who will know it is happening.
If one wants to take the hundreds of names on Americangulag.org, the current political prisoners, incarcerated or not, and do a deep dive, I’ll bet one will find the vast majority to be life-long peaceful, law abiding citizens.
If true, such humans are easy to target, they don’t war plan and aren’t trained to ignore pain and the immorality of killing and those who were so trained, let’s use Stewart Rhodes as an example of the type, they made a conscious choice to ignore their training and ability to kill to prosecute the matters of the day peacefully.
There are millions of such trained people out there like Rhodes and they know how to inflict maximum death and destruction operating in small clandestine groups. They were trained by our government and have been the arm of death for countless countries around the planet.
The only thing between peace and war is choice. That can change at any moment. The starting post mentioned guns. Guns are tools. A true warrior has many tools, of which a gun is but one.
One can presume that war veterans, and other veterans, have the tools, have the skills, and have the training to carry out mission objectives. They can train civilians. They’ve been training civilians. It’s not like any of this is new.
A commitment to peace is a fragile thing. Leave people with little to lose and that fragility is in imminent danger. The impressive commitment to peace from the American public has been uplifting in the extreme. It has its place. God be with us and this great Republic.
Amen!
“The best way out of The Covid is vaccines,” the “if any” protection vaccine with the “again, not very good,” boosters according to the CEO of Pfizer.
The only problem is when does the need for the Vaccine and Boosters end? Next year? 2034? 2100? Never?
Klaus Schwab might say 2050. I think that’s their target for depopulating to 500 million.
Klause Schwab needs to be the first to enjoy the impact of speeding hot lead.
Would it not be better justice to inject him with all the vaccines, boosters and then include starvation as he is isolated in his bedroom for the remainder of his life?
Is this not what he is doing to humanity?
Pitchforks, torches, rope, the Guillotine and nary a chambered round.
I don’t think the Lord will tarry that long.
Amen. Come Lord Jesus.
Vaccines such as we have right now have never been needed. They can be ignored quite safely for anyone under 50. Ivermectin and hydroxychloraquine are not the only effective medications to treat older victims of this virus. Gargling and snorting(and spitting) with 1% povidone -iodine, dilute hydrogen peroxide, and even a few drops of bleach in a glass of water will kill this virus if done 4-6 times during the day. Quercetin, zinc, colchicine, Vitamin D and C, inhaled budenisone, even inhaled albuterol is helpful. Holistic doctors have other ideas and many of them work. About the only drugs that don’t work are the new ones like remdesivir, and their toxicities are terrible. As always, people should demand easy access over the counter without prescriptions medications of these useful drugs and this virus could be stopped within a week.
I want to see massive shortages. This will help people see the need to produce products in your home country and not be dependent on globalism. All good for me
I don’t WANT to see children or seniors starved or sickened because of lack of adequate food, medications, or energy.
But if these necessities suddenly become critically short and unobtainable, maybe it’ll jar into reality all those wimpish, conflict-avoiding adults who have been whistling past the graveyard up to that point.
https://clarion.causeaction.com/2022/01/15/a-philadelphia-congresswoman-clings-to-her-gun-control-delusions-even-after-being-carjacked-by-reality/
FTA “Instead of being chastened by the experience, however, the congresswoman held a press conference at which she doubled down on her naïve and dangerous ideas about crime, especially her desire for more gun control….Scanlon remained unshaken in her view that crime was mostly a problem for social workers to respond to, as she renewed the call for more government-funded “mental health services.” Unsurprisingly, the press hasn’t pushed her to explain how an armed carjacking, by multiple men in broad daylight, would have been thwarted through the intervention of “mental health” professionals.”
If a carjacking at gun point won’t “jar wimpish, conflict-avoiding adults into reality” perhaps starvation will but I doubt it!
Sure. There are always exceptions to the majority. Not everyone follows the “average” behavior.
I was addressing what works for a lot of people. Older terms for it are the “school of hard knocks”, or, “learning the hard way.” Most younger folks use that method, unfortunately (including me, once upon a time). They’re far too smart to take advice from older, more experienced adults…🤣.
But there are also a lot of adults who never learned how to discern when they’re being given sage advice. Unfortunately a lot of them try to deny any responsibility for their behavior. And the Left (Democrats) often give them a complete pass.
She’s an idiot..only in PA.
Nothing to do with her seeing the light, all to do with her keeping her job that depends on her going after guns, defunding police.
This was a bought and paid for statement, nothing to do with truth nor reality.
Please see my above post. This is not about wimpishness. I am old and have no concerns about dying. Killing people is another matter, even evil ones. Think a little more about this. We don’t need to slaughter thousands and thousands, as a relatively few individuals are the cause of our problems.
Mark – IDK what I wrote in my above comment that you inferred as being in favor of taking anyone’s life or deliberately letting them die because of shortages.
I am addressing what level of economic pain or denial of fundamental liberties is required to “wake up” people who’ve been lulled into thinking things are basically OK and that it’ll all work out.
Massive shortages will lead to the use of weaponry and violence and death. I know almost nothing about guns, but I am so angry that I know I must be willing to kill someone if I am to take up the “hobby” of firearms education. So far, I am not able to do that. Better to hire professionals for the tasks we may need to do.
You are the very epitome of the modern American liberal. I didn’t say you are a liberal but if you know nothing about guns then you certainly are doing a great job of emulating one. Hiring professionals for something that should be second nature to a man is also a pathetic testimony. You need to grow a pair. Good Grief.

Just finished a 25 year career with State Police in two states (VT and NH). Vast majority of it was on interstate patrol on highways that cross into Canada. 40%+ trucks on these roads are Canadians. I’ve posted here that the grocery shelves appear relatively unscathed at this point. That’s probably about to change in the coming weeks. We live in a land governed mainly by idiots, fools and evil nut jobs.
“We live in a land governed mainly by idiots, fools and evil nut jobs” aka Democrats, globalists, progressives and snowflakes!
And RINOS.
I agree but I’ve come to realize is that the RINOS are really just Democrats who Democrats supported financially to ran as Republicans in the primaries! It’s just another diabolical Democrat plan to undermine the Republican Party! The “one eyed Liz Cheney” is a classic example of a Democrat in Republican clothing! The Republican Party aka the stupid party hasn’t figured that out yet!
Fundamental transformation started with the Fourth Branch and the Democrat party. The later is now a full blown Marxist party full of idiots, fools and evil nut jobs.

Pull to a stop fourteen trucks deep on every major US interstate, placing other trucks to completely block the margins. Then, shut off the engines, lock the doors and walk away. If tow trucks are deployed to pull the trucks away, repeat the process. Strategically pick places where there are no easy alternate routes. All interstate traffic throughout the entire nation is now stopped. “Your move, radicals …”
Never mind their cargo being looted while waiting for tow trucks. Way past time to shut these Covid nazi’s down. Crash the economy. Things will only change when San Fran Nan can’t fill her freezer with multiple flavors of her high priced elitist ice cream.
And the forecast for today and the next six months (if we are lucky) is a “sideways shit-storm of epic proportions and massive consequences.”.
So, no trucker vaccine mandate up to now, huh?
So how come all the truckers aren’t dead already? COVID has been here for 2 years, vaccines a little less.
We know vaccines do not prevent the spread of the disease. They’ve admitted that.
There seems to be a breathtaking lack of logic in the actions of both governments.
Since it’s obviously not about health, it must be about something else.
You could make the same argument about healthcare workers, Federal employees, contractors, etc.
So, what do the Canadian and American governments have in common?
Answer, they’re both chock full of Communists and lefties.
Schneider Trucking shuts down operations in Canada. Claims it’s not because of mandates, but we all know they can’t make money with the mandates in place.
https://www.freightwaves.com/news/schneider-to-shut-down-canadian-operations
And, the companies impacted won’t even be honest because they still want to keep their hands out for government contracts.
We can not control Canada but didn’t the Supreme Court do away with Mandates except for health care workers? So does this mean that all the trucking companies are holding the line and will not let truckers drive without a vaccine shot or negative test like Sundance was reporting, before the ruling.
I don’t know, but this was brought up. Sundance answered a couple of times, yesterday.

United States Department of Transportation. DOT regulations, not OSHA.
Thanks Lolli, good to see you.
I’m here. Just not commenting much.
Same same
Interstate commerce and DOT control. There’s so much thrown at the wall it’s hard to keep up with it, IMO impossible for regular people with real lives, and that accounts for things seeming sudden and new but in reality this has been in work for awhile now.
Yup, the truck driver (singular) is going to, potentially, spread the virus to how many people?
If this gets something done, then we will know who controls the United States, the truckers!
So, what about cross border trucking between the US and Mexico (not to give them any ideas)? Will US truckers along that border be mandated to have the vax and their Mexican counterparts not have it?
Those trucks may be used to bring in the illegal aliens……
I think private planes should be grounded especially jets owned by elitists due to vac. & climate change , that should wake them up when they have to sit in traffic like a commoner.
DOMESTIC TERRORISM = GOVERNMENT
UNFORTUNATELY, IT WILL BE US AGAINST THEM….SOON..
Some PO’d trucker is going to take a load and when told he can’t enter due to no death shot he will leave his load right there on the street.
“If you want the load, come a move it yourself.”
Especially if it’s a company truck and that company is bending the driver over too.
Here’s your load. Here’s the truck. Now, compound that by hundreds. This would be a hoot.
And, you can hear the MSM now with their select chicken littles on to cry about the evil dirty commoners.
Yep, pull the hoses and pin lock, dump it. See ya. Cranking up that landing gear with a full load is darn near impossible, they’ll need a recovery truck. Pretty easy way to block freeways too, particularly if working in groups.
SCOTUS reversed Biden’s mandate in US – is the January 22 date still good?
Yes, for the zillionith time. This 1/22 mandate is DOT not OSHA.
The Canadian one went into effect Saturday, the US on the 22nd.
It is a requirement like logs of time spent driving etc.
I hope you all realize that a collapse is precisely the goal. They want the disobedient people (those who won’t take the vaccine) out, so that they can put obedient people in. In the meantime, commerce stops, which hurts everyone except the super-wealthy that have private supply chains. The pain caused will make many millions desperate and ready when the same people come along and offer a solution, which will involve you giving up freedoms and submitting to monitoring and forced shots.
The answer is NOT parking trucks and causing pain for everyone. The answer is destroying the evil at its source. This does NOT mean that truckers should take an experimental injection that is known to cause problems. They shouldn’t. But the reason we’re going through all of this is because the corrupt, evil people that have been driving this fraud remain in positions of power. As long as they remain, you can boycott or resist all you want. But defense NEVER wins a fight.
I disagree. We must stubbornly resist and be non-compliant at every turn. If that means crashing the economy, so be it. If truckers go on strike or abandon their loads at the border, wonderful. Short of violence, we need action now before it is too late. Overthrowing dictators is not pleasant but must be done.
I agree with you. And I defy the insanity whenever I can, including handing out fliers with articles and information that are censored online. But we cannot expect that mere resistance will accomplish anything lasting or meaningful. As long as the corrupt remain in positions of power we will forever find ourselves resisting and never ending what it is that necessitates resistance in the first instance. And the longer we resist without taking ground, the more we are weakened.
“Evil doth prevail while good men do nothing” haunts me. Fully aprised of the darkening situation; I know Who, where, why, not concerned with when, but, for the life of me, How? How, indeed; ideas?
I do believe many other drivers will commit to pulling off the roads at some point to stand with their fellow truckers. It will clearly demonstrate the absurdity of all this while royally ticking off the people further. Like many I wonder why this insanity goes forward.
Is it intentional? I know the commies want to take over health care and are well along in that scheme. Do they also wish to confiscate the trucking industry?
Or is it even more nefarious…a strategy to starve out the populous, triggering riots and martial law? I doubt they have the gonads for that.
Buttiplug is nothing but a marionette to the grand puppet. Would love for some entity to gain access to the center of this matrix, and produce hard evidence of the conspiratorial leaders.
Exactly. We need to find out the people behind Biden. I’m betting one of them is Obama.
They want a reason to institute Martial Law, so they can stop the midterms. They will do it, they are very desperate people; their masters are angry with them you see.
A vote for a democrat is a vote for starvation.
Horowitz: Letter to FAA warns that federal law prohibits commercial pilots from flying after taking experimental shots – December 29, 2021
https://www.theblaze.com/op-ed/horowitz-letter-to-faa-warns-that-federal-law-prohibits-commercial-pilots-from-flying-after-taking-experimental-shots
Just how far have we devolved from typical medical protocols when it comes to mandating experimental shots on everyone? According to a group of lawyers along with doctors familiar with health care protocols in civilian and military aviation, pilots are actually prohibited from flying after taking a non-FDA-approved treatment or one that was approved less than 12 months ago.
Federal Judge rejects Pfizer’s interchangeability and questions the existence of Comirnaty – December 7, 2021
https://lynnwoodtimes.com/2021/12/07/federaljudge-rejects-interchangeability-comirnaty/
Debates surrounding Pfizer’s FDA approved Comirnaty vaccine continue as a Federal District Judge recently weighed in on the matter. Judge Allen Winsor of the U.S. District Court for the Northern District of Florida, whom President Donald J. Trump nominated in 2018, rejected the Department of Defenses’ (DOD) claim that Pfizer’s approved Comirnaty vaccine is interchangeable with their Pfizer-BioNTech vaccine, which remains authorized for emergency use (EUA).
“[T]he DOD cannot mandate vaccines that only have an EUA,” he stated. Although Pfizer’s Comirnaty vaccine received FDA approval in August, the vials in circulation are still labeled for Emergency Use Authorization (EAU). And as the Johnson & Johnson and Moderna vaccines remain under EUA, there is currently no approved COVID-19 vaccine available to the servicemen.
What’s more, Judge Winsor noted that “the plaintiffs have shown that the DOD is requiring injections from vials not labeled ‘Comirnaty.’ Indeed, defense counsel could not even say whether vaccines labeled ‘Comirnaty’ exist at all.”
Considering one of the defendants is Janet Woodcock, the Acting Commissioner of the U.S. Food and Drug Administration, it is striking that the defense was unable to prove the existence of the only FDA approved vaccine in the U.S.
There is no Comirnaty and there will never be; because an approved drug has to have an insert that describes in detail what is in it, what adverse reactions have been, and who should not take it.
Nope, never happen.
And an approved drug opens them up for liability.
That, plus once they put an approved drug into circulation/use, all use of the EUA drugs must stop. EUA’s are only valid if there are no other approved drugs/therapies available for use for the illness/condition that the EUA drugs are being used for. This is also why they “banned” Ivermectin, HCQ, etc from being used to treat Covid.
Didn’t SCOTUS block the trucker (OSHA) mandate? Or is FedGov regulating trucking independently of OSHA?
https://www.fleetowner.com/covid-19-coverage/article/21214071/supreme-court-blocks-vaccineortest-mandate
Won’t Canadians suffer the most from their border blocking?
I see below it is DOT mandating trucker vax. I doubt DOT mandate will last if OSHA’s is tossed. But if Dems take it to SCOTUS it will take while to get a ruling.
It helps to read posts, comments too, before questioning. This has been answered, in this case just a couple comments up.
It’s DOT and Buttguy, not OSHA. So yes, 1/22.
Well, from border blocking yes. When you tell American truckers that they have to have a shot of god knows what, they are not going to truck.
Is anyone in the process of challenging in court – as they did with OSHA – anybody’s legitimate power to impose such a restriction on international and/or interstate commerce? To compel people as a condition of future employment to take an injection that still has only “emergency” authorization, and which does not conform to the law’s long-standing definition of “vaccine?”
Since when does any person lose the right to decide whether they want to run the risk of permanent heart damage, stroke, heart attack, thrombosis, or any of the other consequences that have now happened to hundreds of thousands of other people? Just because some “public health official” decreed it?
Says a lot
When this turns into chaos (and that is a “when” not an “if”), the rational step would be to get rid of the mandate
But not before they will blame it on shortage of truck drivers and see it as a reason to pork up money to self-driving trucks development projects (Tesla and all) in which the politicians of course all took a stake.
The government has never intervened in a sector and made it better. Never.
Daimhler (sp?) has been working on self driving trucks for years.
They had a big promotion thing in Las Vegas probably 5 years ago. The next thing with the self driving trucks is EV.
It is going to completely destroy several industries. If they get their way.
Good luck to any company with self driving trucks. I’d like to see one of those self driving trucks on I70 in Colorado.
Maybe hire a low-income third world immigrant to ride along and babysit the Artificial Intelligence truck. A young guy, maybe from Cuba. What could go wrong?
Canada has always been run by the left. They just screwed themselves.
As an aside, this policy will probably affect whether the Daytona 500 gets run on schedule. NASCAR has completely revamped the cars so that they have many more functioning parts that are in common with the stock cars sold on lots nowadays. This would include low profile tires on larger wheels and rack an pinion steering to name just a couple. Maximum horsepower has been reduced to a level that could easily be achieved with a few modifications to the car’s power plant.
The rub is that all parts will now be built in NASCAR approved and contracted parts factories and not be built by the racing teams. This is a great move for NASCAR because the smaller racing teams can build cars that are closer to the same capabilities and we should see closer and more exciting racing. But if this COVID19 vaccine crap causes the supply chain breakdowns, that appear to be a certainty at our Canadian border, there will be more difficulties getting the proper parts to build the race cars. NASCAR is already behind schedule because of the many COVI19 restrictions they have dealt with for two years and the racing teams are nowhere close to getting the needed 7 cars (different specs for cars racing on different tracks) per driver that will be required. We only have about 4 weeks until those cars will need to be in final approval inspections. Add NASCAR to the list of folks who had better take a chance and stock up approved but not finalized parts right now.
If this mandate continues at that border, NASCAR’s marque event could be postponed to a later date. This would teach those yahoos down South in NASCAR land that cooperating with the BLM bullshit was a big waste of time, unless Big Tech and Big Corp pony up a lot more sponsorship support. I hope that happens. If Big Tech wants to control the world, we should make it cost them more money everywhere we can.
Thanks for the detailed report. In general, motorsports are a huge American tradition and I’ve noticed significant parts deficiencies for sometime now, though racers are a stalwart breed and they find a way.
Racing has taken hits from times of suffering and times of war but has always come back. The people are strong 🙂
Pokey, shame on you for your comment “This would teach those yahoo’s down South”. We have heard this nauseous put down of Southerners, enough already, check your elitism at the door, please.
It is a Canadian gov mandate.
Keep in mind that the truckers who are most likely to refuse the JAB are also old school folk who are most likely to be licensed to drive trucks with a manual transmission rather than an automatic. Driving a big rig is far more difficult than driving a passenger vehicle. (This is why elderly folk driving a motorhome or big travel trailer scare the feces out of me). Managing an 18 speed, manual transmission that is best shifted without using the clutch is becoming a lost art. It will not be possible to recruit novice drivers to drive the trucks that will be out of service.
They will recruit young, unexperienced drivers who will then have a similar driving experience as that fellow who got 110 years for plowing into a slew of cars and trucks killing many because he had burnt out his brakes on steep hills and was too afraid to pull off before hitting them.
Yes, and we should also underscore those drivers with additional certifications to haul hazmat, one biggie being fuel and petrochemicals. They’re more likely to be older and experienced.
The trucking industry has to a certain degree evolved out of the need for old timers by increasing use of tractors with automatic or self-shifting transmissions. I noted this particularly in California since emisions laws have removed most of the older trucks, more likely to have the old Eaton or Fuller boxes, from the road.
Still, interstate truckers, particularly the owner-operators, are a tough breed and stubborn to the end. I wouldn’t want to piss them off, not me brother.
THIS IS THE BEGINNING OF THE TRUCKERS’ (BOSTON) TEA PARTY.
THUMBS UP TO THE TRUCKERS HOLDING THE LINE.
America..you can do something..if nothing else, don’t order anything. Hold a sign supporting the truckers. Bring any al all teamsters a cup of coffee. A soda, a sandwich..whatever.
Many of these truckers own their rigs, and I would bet they are heavily in debt.
Support a trucker and their family. They, like our military and police are an American line of defense.
#2 If you see or know of any illegals in your community, turn them into ICE. It’s anonymous.
Does the illegal occupant in the White House count 🤣😜
Ha…top of the list. We could only dream. He brags about driving a truck, and he’s fully vaxxed.
Maybe we should put Dementia Dog in the cab of an 18 wheeler and send him to Canada.
He’d obviously have no problem with customs. While we’re at it, pack that 18 wheeler with some illegals he’s so fond of trafficking around the US.
I’m sure Canada would welcome the cheap labor and votes, (because that’s what human beings’ worth is reduced to.)
Cheap labor and votes.
They are a Dimocrat/Global /Uniparty commodity/trading tool.
Thank them heartily for their service to our country; the whole economy, the life blood of this country, is carried on the backs of truckers. It ALL gets there by TRUCK, Baby.
Question? I thought the vaccine mandate was blocked by the Supreme Court?
The OSHA mandate for large companies was blocked, not the federal border mandate.
Freedom of travel between us and Canada goes back to the Treaty of Ghent in 1815, but I guess a virus changes everything now doesn’t it? Ridiculous
Thank you kindly for this I was having trouble explaining this to people in my household.
It would be helpful to know what this will affect in terms of product. What are we importing from Canada that will, now, start drying up. I’m assuming it’s not all maple syrup. Building materials like lumber and steel? What about food? How much do we get from Canada?
Auto parts.

Thanks for the link. That’s very helpful and in no way alarming, lol.
Doesnt the US get lots of toilet paper from Canada?
OSHA rule for large employers is different from authority over interstate commerce; we saw a bit of the difference in the court’s ruling on the CMS portion of the mandate related to health care workers at CMS certified facilities.
The mandate apparently still applies to them. This is the work of the best and brightest Lawfare can throw at this operation. Expect more of the same. As long as they breathe they carry the message.
We should have Circled every major Democrat ruled City in America for 3 days….
That would have been about as long as it would take to bring those Dirtbags to their knees !
LET’S GO BRANDON !
I know that it has be stated that the vax mandate for truckers is a DOT mandate, not OSHA, but I have searched on DOT website (transportation.gov) and searched the web (using Duckduckgo) and I have yet to find and official DOT info/link that outlines the mandate. Does anyone have a link?……….thanks
We have had enough of these fascists. They should all be packed off to North Korea to ply their wares.
I keep missing what I am supposed to stock up on. We do not get our food from Canada. I rarely see ‘Made in Canada’ on products I normally buy. So…

The government trash know exactly what they are doing , they want a complete break down of the supply chain and society. When that is complete then they will come in and save us. Terrible thought isn’t it?
This is the hill I will die on. I will never back down. And I don’t plan on not extracting a cost on whomever decides to arrest me.
The work around assumes you cross the border. These fools in government can’t even think.
This is by design. How will the powers-that-shouldn’t-be place everyone under their universal basic income slavery system if the businesses don’t close down?!? People who think this has anything to do with “health” (unless you count the suicides and stress illnesses these “mandates” are causing) need to stop listening to television and radio and start listening to their intuition. If we do not fight this tyranny now, we will not be able to fight it later. #WeDoNotConsent #WeWillNotComply
If we don’t hang together, we will surely hang separately – B Franklin some time, long ago.
Disruption is the goal.
The Great Reject Prime Minister in Ottawa wants the economy to fail so they can implement Marxism.
These SOB’s in charge do not care if their citizens go hungry or without. Reminds of Stalin starving out his populations
You are getting it!!!!
I learned a new word “FUBAR” which fits so many conditions today – thanks to the insane leadership on both sides of the border. I asked my Korean Vet husband if he heard of the word and he said it was military slang from way back. We are fortunate – live in a small rural town where locally the basics are produced here for the most part, and coming from parents who went through the great depression and WWII instilled in us to save surplus for when it will be needed – but I feel very sorry for anyone living in large cities totally dependent on the store shelves to feed their family. Reminds me of the “Seven years fat cattle and seven years lean cattle” the Good Book tells us of.
Just wait until 5G is up and running. You will then see for yourself the electromagnetic pulses effects on those “graphene oxide” injected victims. Graphene oxide injected, 5G enabled, blood clot induced, heart attack/stroke evidenced, Zombie Apocalypse coming in the form of out-of-control tractor-trailers, airlines, trains, buses, and yes, your daily commuters.
Keeping in mind that..
