Encouraging Canadians


By Zamboni

Just when you think the US is utterly consumed with Trump-inspired idiocy, two things can happen: One, Joe Biden calls FOX's Steve Doocy a "stupid son of a bitch," restoring your faith in good grins and righteous truth. Two, you suddenly realize that nutty, Trumpy things are happening up north of us, too.

For example, some Canadian truckers are protesting COVID vaccine mandates by dramatically driving from Vancouver to Ottawa, screaming that making them get the shot will disrupt the supply chain and cause food shortages. Several problems with this: The vast majority of truck drivers are vaccinated and on the job, which means that grocery shelves and produce bins are full. The GoFundMe accounts set up to support the protests are suspiciously non-transparent, and rumors of grifting abound. And of course these anti-vaxx fools will probably end up losing their jobs. Oh, well!

It's gotten so silly on Canada's right wing that Conservative leader Erin O'Toole has had to declare that — well, watch the video. We cats PURR.
