Canada won't let unvaxxed American truckers in...good policy?

[red/green hawk]

Amid the Omicron surge in Canada, is this the best strategy? 20% of food Canadians buy comes across the border on American wheels. Food prices soaring.

Being a truck driver is about the most socially distant job you can get.

Dumb rule is dumb.

 

[Mayland]

Especially in Canada. Canadian truck drivers don’t leave their trucks for anything.

 

[Thunderlips71]

Regardless of your opinion on the rule, anyone who wishes to be a guest in the country of Canada must respect and obey their laws and rules.

If John Q. Trucker chooses to remain unvaccinated he can stick with domestic routes.

Canada can do whatever it wants but if food prices are soaring because of this policy, it seems silly to harm your own citizens by not letting non-vaxxed truckers in at this point in the pandemic. There is already community spread of every variant of covid in Canada. Would letting in a small number of truckers, many very temporarily, really make a difference?

It's all for show at this point.

Honestly, what the hell does a vaxxed person have to fear from an unvaxxed person?

Do you ever not show what a fuggin' simp you are?

Because the vaccine doesn't work against the Omicron. Even the booster doesn't work.

Studies out of South Africa and Israel are saying it.

Back to the drawing board.....

They work. Symptoms are less severe but it does nothing for infection. You work in health care?

I do. Vaccinated coworkers are dropping like flies with infections. Just as infectious as unvaxxed.

I just stated that. Look at he death rate difference between the two populations.

This has nothing to do with OP. Vaxxed can pass it just as easy as unvaxxed, yet Canada doesn't care if a vaxxed driver brings it across the border.

It's their law. Are you pissed at Canada now as well? Australia? Austria? You really have a high opinion of yourself apparently.

Ummm...okay...? So you think their law makes sense...cool.

Doesn't matter what I think or you think. Different countries do different things.

To the detriment of their own people.

 

[Jan Itor]

He’s right. Omicron is evading the vaccines. At this point, being vaccinated can help keep you out of the hospital or ICU, but it isn’t stopping you from getting it.

 

[globalhawk]

To the detriment of their own people.

In your opinion. Not many countries are following the American lead on handling Covid right now.

 

[hydro2.0]

Canada: we need help.

Unvaccinated truck driver: I’ll help

Canada: nah, fam. Too dangerous

 

[PoopandBoogers]

Time to get the ol' bootleggin operations back up and runnin. Malboros, denim jackets, ammo, auto parts, tvs etc. Am I missing anything?

Or spreading it.

Quick Test kits

 

[globalhawk]

Or spreading it.

But dying from COVID faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar less frequently.

 

[PoopandBoogers]

Quick Test kits

Not bad, but to make it worthwhile, I'd need a few pallets worth, don't know how to get that many at wholesale.

 

[The Tradition]

But dying from COVID faaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaar less frequently.

Again, it's pretty damn rare for a working-age person to die from COVID. Are there a lot of 80-year-old truckers out there?

No. I am speaking of you downplaying the vaccine. You stated it did not work ... right?

 

[The Tradition]

And why would Canada care if an unvaxxed American trucker caught COVID and died? The only reason for this policy is to prevent that trucker from spreading it to Canadians. Well, the vaccine doesn't prevent that.

400 cases of Coors beer?

Send the bill to Big Enos Burdette.

 

[The Tradition]

It does not work to prevent COVID infection, which is the only rationale for such a policy.

I went off on a tangent. Sorry. I did get off topic from the OP.

You cons will complain about anything. Bitching about the border problem that has been kicked down the road for many years to our south and then bitching about Canada not letting people in.

So adopt that policy at the southern border...hmmm...you may be on to something there.

Mexico not letting unvaccinated American truck drivers in will solve the border problem?

Stupid law is stupid is the point.

 

[globalhawk]

To you. Canada disagrees.

 

[red/green hawk]

No, not letting in unvaxxed illegal aliens whether they are truck drivers or not.

 

[globalhawk]

No, not letting in unvaxxed illegal aliens whether they are truck drivers or not.

That doesn't follow the logic at the northern border.

 

[nextinlineatOPsmoms]

I dont care what they do. Im not the one bitching about too many people crossing the southern border than turn around and complain about who another country does or doesnt allow across their border

 

[red/green hawk]

That doesn't follow the logic at the northern border.

1) Canada won't let unvaxxed Americans across the border.
2) America shouldn't let unvaxxed illegal aliens across the border.

Do you get it?
