Let them Truckers Roll

“Mercy sakes alive, looks like we got us a convoy.”

Joe Warmington- Convoy of truckers against vaccine mandates ready to roll on Ottawa

Truckers are planning a massive demonstration on highways across the country, with many set to leave British Columbia Sunday before landing in Ottawa on Jan. 29.

“To our fellow Canadians, the time for political overreach is over,” the Freedom Convoy GoFundMe page says. “Our current government is implementing rules and mandates that are destroying the foundation of our businesses, industries and livelihoods.”

Update: New slogan “Truck Trudeau”. I’ll give Ezra credit for that one.

Update 2 : Our state broadcaster has a completely different take on all this.

Supply of Students Dries Up

Campus Reform- As the COVID-19 pandemic continues into its third year, William Paterson University is now laying off 100 full-time faculty over the next three years.

Colleges and universities across the nation have faced financial hardships due to COVID-19. Decreased enrollment is a contributing factor because institutions rely on tuition payments for their budgets.

Gee that’s funny. Make higher education even more hellish by treating zero risk students like plague rats and less of them want to pay for the privilege. If they had any economics professors left admin could ask them about “incentives”.

Good Job Everyone!

Financial Post- Canada’s trucker vaccine rule is making freight and fruit pricier: The cost of transporting produce out of California and Arizona to Canada jumped 25%

Shipping is expected to get disrupted in both directions, with the U.S. set to impose its own vaccine mandate on foreign travelers on Jan. 22. Only 50 per cent to 60 per cent of U.S. truckers are vaccinated, according to an estimate from the American Trucking Associations.

Then again…

“I have heard anecdotally that truckers are looking to stop hauling perishable products as there are too many risks if they are delayed in their delivery,” Lemaire said by email, noting the association will be closely watching the impact on the supply chain.

It’s not just Saskatchewan.

(Sure is taking them a long time to get that fixed.)

Ontario is also experiencing technical difficulties.

Check the other provinces for me, report back in the comments.

David F I’ve been following BC’s Covid information for a while. The “Data summary” report that shows cases, hospitalizations and deaths by vaccination status has not updated since December 16. No reason has been given, but I expect it’s because their ‘risk of getting COVID’ stat plummeted, and someone was proactive about saying “whoa, we can’t publish that”.

Peter Nova Scotia has been meticulous, albeit subject to the ususal caveats about quality, in putting out their data daily. Cases and hospitalizations by vax status were featured prominently on the dashboard. Then a note appeared that data would be updated when Panorama was updated, this was data as at December 14, 2021 updated on December 17, 2021. That has remained unchanged for a month now, methinks the data exists but is un-publishable because of the story it would tell?

Economic reversal

After it appeared that the federal government had downed a dose of common sense by halting the vaccine mandate for cross border truckers, they have just reinstated economic suicide as official policy. If anyone thought that supply chain problems were bad now, just wait a few months.

After a day of confusion over border rules for truckers, the government confirmed Thursday Canadian drivers will have to be fully vaccinated against COVID-19 to return back into the country or face testing and a lengthy quarantine.

This Is Not The Two-Tier Health Care System I Was Promised

Tommy Douglas, finally dead.

Tipping point?

At long last, it seems that the Mainstream Media, or at least some segment of it, may be tiring of fear porn. It remains to be seen whether the tipping point in the MSM can be reached before irreparable economic damage occurs.

We are pushing the complex systems upon which we depend and which are miraculously effective and efficient in their often thankless operation to their breaking point.

These systems are now shaking. We’re compromising them seriously with this unending and unpredictable stream of restrictions, lockdowns, regulations and curfews. We’re also undermining our entire monetary system, with the provision of unending largesse from government coffers, to ease the stress of the COVID response. We’re playing with fire.
