Canadian Govt brought the Emergency Act Measures Law into effect. No more shit. They can now requisition tow trucks by law.

You know, it really seems like we’re well past the point to take off the kid gloves on this shit.

The US border vaccination mandate doesn’t stop them from doing most work but it does stop them from doing cross border work. There is plenty of work for the 10% of unvaccinated Canadian truckers, in Canada, that doesn’t require you crossing the border to the US. However, the longer this protest rolls on the less it…

you’re right, a trucker needs to have his/her wheels spinning in order to make money. One would think that truckers wouldn’t really be interested in sitting idle at a bridge or at a capital for weeks as that brings them no money especially since one could be making thousands of CAD for any load within Canada and much…

If the Freedom Bridge protest was doing so for a good reason, I wouldn’t mind so much. That what it takes sometimes—using protests to affect change for the better--like the Selma bridge protest.

I was cursed with the crazy old man (my grandfather, and then my uncle,

“NOooo the air conditioning is on! Jesus,  Ernesto!”

IMHO, the changes you’re describing might happen in the short term but the siren song of saving $$$ will be too strong to ignore long term. 5 years down the road: “Can’t we save 3% getting this from China?”  “Yes, but we’re paying a little extra to reduce risk of a supply chain disruption.” “The pandemic was FIVE…

The really pathetic part of it (besides the whole thing) is the F*ck Trudeau flags make it transparent as glass that this is being primarily stirred up from the US. Have the Republicans so completely ran out of local school boards and librarians to terrorize they had to expand to Canada to get news coverage?

But most of those Hungarians left. Which explains Hungary today.

You’re hopefully right, I hope this is how the future generations see us, rather than huttled around a fire pit saying “grandpa, tell us again how we used to have magic lights and heat that came out of the walls.”

Future generations are going to think we’re so dumb. It’s like when we read about people during the bubonic plague who thought it was caused by “bad smells” and not the trash, feces, and rats cluttering the streets or how people started saying “God bless you” when others sneezed because they thought a sneeze allowed…

I will never understand why people like aec007 will spend time and effort just to make themselves look like complete fucking morons. Is it simple masochism?

The trucker convoy is being lead by a fringe political party that wants to rejoin a “Trump led USA”... these protestors are full of American wannabes who are upset about being barred from re-entering Canada from the USA where they can’t even enter in the first place unless they’re vaxxed. Absolutely comical, eh ...but…

As far as I can tell, they are pretty united that the Truckers are a bunch of asshats. 

Someone is going to get hurt if the police don’t start doing their fucking job in Ottawa.  

Sadly, only one V8 Avant was ever made (green manual wagon!), for Ferdinand Piech’s wife. Sadly, he didn’t see fit to push anything like that into production as part of his desire to leave one hell of a legacy before retiring.

Someone rendered a longroof A8.

Growing up in the land of Jaguar, Rolls Royce, and Bentley, my take on luxury is a tad different.
