The Canadian Government Announce They Will Not Budge on Vaccine Mandate for Truckers

Despite a request from Wall Street multinational business groups impacted by the threat from the truckers, the administration of Prime Minister Justin Trudeau announced they will not relent in their effort to force vaccinations on unwilling truck drivers.

The truck drivers will kneel before the mighty power of the administrative state, or the truckers will be ignored; it matters not.

CANADA - The federal government says it will not back down on its vaccination rule for cross-border truckers despite entrenched opposition from some drivers and groups claiming to represent their interests.

In a joint media statement released today, Transport Minister Omar Alghabra, Labour Minister Seamus O'Regan, Employment Minister Carla Qualtrough and Stephen Laskowski, the president of the Canadian Trucking Alliance, said COVID-19 vaccines are the "Most effective tool to reduce the risk of COVID-19" and protect public health.

In an interview with CBC's Power & Politics, Alghabra said the government is not interested in alternatives like rapid testing for unvaccinated truckers.

He said truckers and the wider industry have had months to prepare for the new regulations and drivers must now get the shot or stop driving over the border.

Meanwhile the GoFundMe effort to support the trucker push-back against government has now reached $4.7 million.
