The freedom convoy of antivaxers here in Canada are a bunch of facist pigs.

Ah, they don't care about that.

This one got what he deserves.

I'd disagree. Can't use revenge as a tool. Still have to save lives despite their position on covid.

He was denied because without vaccine he would have a worse prognosis after the heart transplantation, so they decided that the heart go to some one else. And rightly so.

As for anti vaxxers I think they should be down-prioritized for health care compared to others, all else somewhat equal. I did not always think so but I've changed my view over time.

It is not revenge, the word you are looking for is consequences….

I see what you're saying now.

Your chance of dying, under the age of 65, is far less than 1%.

Keep on eating those M&Ms

It certainly can be done, but it would take weeks to get them out of there. That's if they can find towing companies to do it, as they're afraid of backlash.

Some areas are close enough to the border that they could bring outside companies to haul some of the semis- the paperwork would probably be mind-boggling, but it could happen unless a big storm rolls through.

I see what you're saying now.

Very tough situation. Non Vaxxed getting a heart transplant, then being in a very compromised position with their immune system after surgery, in a hospital, where chances are higher for one to catch Covid....Hearts being in short supply it goes to someone else.

Just

Just curious, is there a truckers union? Maybe that also makes them hesitant.

Seriously? You don't know that truckers have unions?

 

[highfigh]

People really need to understand percentages. 1% doesn't sound like a lot, but I know if someone gave me a bag of 100 M&Ms and told me one of them would kill me, I don't think I'd eat any M&Ms. Some people, apparently, will start eating them by the handfuls.

You keep M&Ms out of this! OK, take out the brown ones.

I know in the US we do, I have relations that are Teamsters. I was wondering about Canada because I have not heard of any union weighing in to support or tell their members to back off. Strange, no?

 

[Mikado463]

I simply think everyone should get vaxxed....

everyone ? no......

majority ? yes to that !

Canada is more liberal than the US- why would they NOT have unions?

 

[Mikado463]

From what little I've paid attention to on the news Trudeau comes off sounding like a pussy or is that a 'snowflake' ?

What's the general feeling right now in Canada with respect to his overall handling of the pandemic ?

 

[Cruise Missile]

For those quoting my anecdote and saying "you didn't die, that's the point"

I lost two vaccinated family members to this crap. Did it stop them from dying? No.

Like I said, I don't see the point.

Canada certainly is, at least in the East. You've informed they do. Thank you.
Find it strange that we have not seen any union reps weighing in on this in the press.

Everyone should be vaccinated except those that have a medical reason not to. That is just about everyone.

I'm not sure anyone wants to stick their neck out that far and if they do talk, it will probably be in a flood of 'on condition of anonymity'.

 

[GO-NAD!]

Up to this point, I have found this protest annoying and stupid. Now, I'm becoming...well, not alarmed, per se, but this is concerning.

Dispatch from the Ottawa Front: Sloly is telling you all he's in trouble. Who's listening?

The scale of Ottawa's defeat is a jarring and continuing indictment of the capacity of the Canadian state, and the state must reverse this situation, decisively.

Those involved with organizing protest include former RCMP and military officers

IMO, we definitely need the army to dismantle this organized convoy protest, and an extensive inquiry with condemnation of the organizers.
