I'm with you on that logic/understanding. It makes no sense to  
impose strict jab-mandates on truckers who spend very little  
time mingling in crowded environments.  The whole point of  
lockdowns and restrictions was/is to discourage crowding.

The trucker's protest on Parliament Hill tommorrow ought to be  
interesting!

The federal transport minister says that the shortages are not  
due to trucking problems. He says it's due to shortage of  
labour higher up the chain before shipments.  I don't know if i  
can trust the minister. He sounded very upset about the  
truckers taking a stance and organzing a protest to the  
mandates.
