Stock up on food and supplies

[impact]

"The Canadian Ministry of Health's new regulations, set to take effect Jan. 15, state that certain groups of travelers among them essential providers such as truck drivers cannot enter Canada unless they have been fully vaccinated. This applies to U.S. drivers entering the country, a group that previously had been exempt from vaccination requirements."

"Under the Canadian law, to qualify as fully vaccinated, a person must have received, at a minimum, two doses of an approved vaccine or a mix of two of them, or one dose of the one-shot Johnson & Johnson vaccine. And they must have received it at least 14 full days before the date of travel."

"A survey of nearly 1,200 truck drivers released in November by driver recruitment firm Conversion Interactive Agency found that almost 55% of U.S. drivers had received the COVID-19 vaccination, while 36% said they had no intention of receiving it. At the time, about 9% had not received a shot but planned to do so."

With a significant percentage of drivers having no plans for vaccination, this sets up a challenge for motor carriers depending on how vaccine mandates play out both on the federal and state level, the report said."

One should always be stocked up on food and necessary supplies - not just when things look questionable - in today's day and age with the available canned goods to be gotten there is no excuse not to be prepared - heck my house looks like a warehouse - I could go a year at least with what I have -

What should have been happening all the long is having tractors bring their trailers to a border yard to be picked up by distributor's tractors on the respective side of the border. Tractor drivers are just as capable being infected by the virus and spreading it across international borders as anyone else. It's about time some controls got placed on essential services, it appears to have been long overdue at the rate this virus can find its way from one country into another.

Truckers are not a problem as they sit in a cab alone all day long and their trips are regional.
I have never heard of one of them driving to south Africa and pick up omicron, have you?

International flights come into Pearson everyday unloading travelers by the thousands.
You can screen and vax all you want. It will make zero difference.
Influenza is endemic in nature and you can give it any fancy variant name you want.
It will not change the outcome we experience every year.
It is simply once again putting the squeeze on the population.

well said impact...these governments dont care if we starve or if we have to pay 40% more for food and fuel (infact theyd much prefer this so it can inflate the debt away from printing money) all while forcing us to get jabbed every 3 months...

The news today at one point said that the trucker vaccine mandate was being relaxed and then later said it would stand….

Already a shortage of truckers and now this - great idea

[trimmer21]

There's many different rreasons for the astounding reduction in OTR truckers.......poor pay,no benefits,lousy treatment by most freight companies,high fuel and insurance costs. Add in Covid-19 bureaucratic bullshyte and the scene has been set for a worst-case scenario. North Americans are about to find out the hard way just how important the trucking industry is.

Another example of the incompetence and evil of our government. Punitive measures to apply more pressure.

These vax mandates are unconstitutional and discriminatory, and have zero scientific basis given that the ‘vaxxed’ still transmit covid. Illegal, illogical and immoral.

My daughter who is a nurse recently retired for the hospital where she worked - she treated Covid patients for 2 years - she and her family got sick last week from one of the viruses - they believe her husband brought it home after shopping in a crowded store - she, her husband and the one of her sons had fevers for a couple of days and felt very tired - they are all ok now but felt really bad and cautioned me to be very careful - I basically don't go anywhere and keep busy around my property and home - once a week I go food shopping and when I do I wear a mask and glasses while in the store and wipe my hands with sanitizer when I get back to the van - the point is that the new variant is very catchy but not as bad as the original strain but you don't want to get it - I did get the J&J shot back in May of last year - because of my age I do have to especially careful -
