Truckers’ “3ZB” protests remind Canadians what politicans fear to say: my body, my choice

Convoys are springing up across the nation to protest COVID mandates. As Canada Unity’s Brandon Austin told John Oakley on 640 News, “These events are for everyone who wants to protest vaccine mandates. Truckers, non-truckers, men, women, people that were born here, people that immigrated here, ANYONE who wants to protest vaccine mandates. We do not discriminate.”

He made a perfect statement, one that should be embraced by every Canadian. It WAS embraced by every Canadian, back in the B.C. era (Before Covid).

What’s happening at the US border on January 22nd? It may be dramatic

Searching fruitlessly for any mention of the words “COVID” or “vaccine” in CBW #56, I was amazed and amused to come across the above introduction to an opinion by Judge Vaden. He is writing on a lawsuit brought against Porche Motorsport North American Inc. by the United States government, Slip Op. 21–176, Page 33 of the bulletin.

Turns out, Team Porche has been trying to pull a fast one on US Customs by crossing and re-crossing the border between Canada and the US with a giant trailer full of products and parts required by teams on the racing circuit. While it appears Porche was replenishing the trailer often, it was not accurately claiming the value of product on the trailer to US border agents.

Cranky cabbie Hans Wienhold on people “too busy” to notice Canada is in deep trouble

About thirty years ago, I picked up this young broad. It was a good trip; we had some time to talk, but she did most of the talking.

She started telling me all about the problems she was having with her boyfriend. She was frustrated that he kept bugging her that she didn’t pay enough attention to him.

Then she exclaimed, “He just doesn’t understand. I am just too busy.”

Thought for the Day: the people who brought you this week’s “Border Plan” are the same people that created the COVID plan

The very same people who managed the January 15th rollout of border vaccine policies for Truckers are the people you are trusting with your physical health and safety in the COVID campaign featuring a product which will not finish clinical trials until July, 2023.

In the event you have questions about your constitutional right to security of the person and bodily autonomy as a Canadian, you may find this set of “Frequently Asked Questions” helpful.

FLIP FLOP: TRUDEAU’S TRUCKING TERRORISM

One statement, made verbally, could be a mistake. A second statement made in writing could possibly be an error. A third statement, 14 hours later on Day #2 of the message track is not an error: that’s a lie.

We cannot, then, pretend the ensuing chaos is the unfortunate and regrettable result of an error. The ensuring chaos is the intentional result of a plan.

Why? Why would Trudeau intentionally create chaos and confusion at the border? Why would they insist upon eliminating a vaccine exemption that the trucking industry has used successfully to keep supply chains moving and store shelves full for the past two years?

I call Bullshit

In the 1970s, there was a popular game called “Bullshit Poker.” It was played with American $1 bills, and it really was fun. I lived in Sarnia, where there were always lots of American $1 bills around; you could always find two or more people to play a hand of Bullshit Poker at the bar.

The serial number printed on the face of your American $1 bill was your poker hand, with zeroes as aces. Every player took turns studying the number on their dollar before calling their hand: “A pair of 3s.” “Ace high.” “Three card straight.”
