Is this the Canadian version of Let's Go Brandon?

I'd say at this point "fringe minority" probably is. Trudeau tried to insult the trucker convoy calling them that, and it blew up in his face because of the overwhelming support they have. Then he went into hiding as he won't talk to them, so that spawned lot of chicken jokes lol.

Until they do a count, I would not be so sure of "overwhelming support". Perhaps you fellas are just politically lackadaisical during normal elections if this moment managed to trigger donation totals higher than regular campaigns.

Truckers have to take responsibility as they are the ones who seed the backwaters with COVID.

The memes keep coming.

Trudeau is not the only one taking heat though. Conservative leader O'Toole just got thrown out by his own party.

Holy shit that was stupid.

Conservatives are so fucking dumb it hurts my brain. They find the most idiotic childish things as really funny when only someone 9 years old or younger should. And these people are adults. It's kinda scary. There are barely any actually funny conservative comedians or content creators because they can only create humor worthy of non fully developed brains when it comes to anything that requires critical thinking. Which is why they really relate to the most dumb humor.

Strange, I wonder if the mods cleaned them up or if there is some sort of auto clean up for multi-posts that don't get edited?

Truckers have important jobs...they are how products get to shelves. Trains carry goods as well, but not to your local store. People who understand this fact should support OTR drivers.

Calling them 'fringe' was probably not wise, due to the political use of it in recent years. But they are a minority. There are not 20 million OTR drivers in Canada (or the US, for that matter). This was just bad optics and PR because of a stupid comment that yeah...blew up in his face.

The comment itself was minimizing their importance to keeping society working, even if they ARE a 'minority' of workers.

Truckers not involved or even opposed to the "Freedom Convoy" will likely be the most silently damaged after this little outburst. If they put their work history on a resume in a move to get out of the industry...the bourgeois HR manager will think he's amongst the Canadian protesters(I will never underestimate how emotional and reactionary people are)

The entire trucking industry will likely be replaced by automation within the next two decades. They are not nearly as 'important' as they think they are.

Weird how a country isn't supposed to be allowed to decide what vaccinations are required to be able to cross their borders after... well, as long as I can remember.

I wouldn't get too far ahead of ourselves. How many decades have we been hearing about robots replacing burger flippers, cashiers, etc.? It's happened in very few instances, so I'm not sure I'd count on all semis/lorries on the roads being Teslas within 20 years. Truckers are going to remain in demand longer than that, I think.

We do already have some automated rigs on public roads testing currently, but I've heard speculation that they aren't currently best suited for some scenarios... but 10, 20 years from now? Those scenarios might disappear.

Well they are important right now. And it's honorable labor, like so many other blue collar jobs. Personally I think all truckers should make more money, have more paid vacation, and full benefits. But they hate the party I stand with that is their only shot at getting some of those things because they can't hate immigrants and blacks and gays enough so well, I guess fuck them.

I remember when the let's go Brandon thing came out. I thought to myself how my 10-year-old niece could come home from school, tell us a story about how some boys in her class made up a three word code phrase to insult the teacher, and even my 10-year-old niece would probably say how stupid that was.

I mean these people are just not a positive addition to moving a critically thinking humanity forward.

Err Trudeau was referring to the antivaxxers as fringe minority. 90% of Canadian truckers are fully vaccinated. Trucker union has come out against the so called freedom convoy.
