Blacklock’s Reporter writes that Canada’s federal government cabinet has cancelled the concept of inter-provincial vaccine mandates for Truckers.

Restrictions on interprovincial travel are forbidden under Canada’s Constitution and are the subject of a lawsuit against the government by Brian Peckford, the last living signatory of Canada’s 1982 Charter of Rights and Freedoms. Canada’s Transport Minister Omar Alghabra mused about implementing such restrictions during the Freedom Convoy 2022 in February.

And she’s only allowed 10 pictures so let her family send those ones,” Facebook instructions suggest.
