I don’t quite understand a side effect of the protest… the truckers are protesting (cool beans guys…. Do what you gotta do), but they are protesting the rules against vaccinations being required for border crossings back and forth (again…. Do your thing), but they are doing it by blocking the traffic moving across from Windsor to Detroit and points south, and everything south from The USA getting in through Windsor.
So I don’t see their demand or endgame? They need to be clear that I guess they will move and let food and goods move immediately once they get what they want. Is it a halt on vaccine checks at the border crossing? Is it encumbered stops and logbook checks at the border crossing? Is it over preferential loads getting priority crossing like ford and GMC parts making it across but other items aren’t? I understand people are upset, but there needs to be an endgame. If they only upset the system so much that all materials are rerouted across the border via trains and it cuts down on cross border hauls, then that is going to really hurt the truckers that depend on those international loads to pay their bills.
I just hope they work it out. It’s having real impacts on the people who don’t deserve the negative…. The Truckers who have worked their butts off through this whole pandemic. I want them to have better conditions to. But preventing food and medication from getting delivered in a timely manner isn’t going to help the cause for any of us I fear.
