Poll of the Day > Canadian truckers continue their fight against vaccine mandates.

(+) Yeah! (+)

Real slippery slope against freedom and protesting the government with this move.

So how many businesses have these truckers burnt down so far? Federal buildings? Police stations? Surely they've done some heinous destructive act to be labeled "terrorists".

This is a guy who only talks about economic damage when it is convenient to his shit argument.

Wasn't making an argument, just pointing out the hypocrisy.

GiveSendGo was hacked and is offline, the clownvoy donors have been doxxed.

Clownvoy organizers have set up their own funding site (with balckjack, and hookers?) with rules in place to attempt to skirt financial regulations

Reminder: providing material support to terrorists families is no different then providing material support to terrorists. Donating to this cause could be considered a criminal offence (wire fraud) resulting in a prison term of no more then fourteen years, and that's just the domestic charges; if your from outside of Canada and have donated, you will also be liable for any local laws you may have broken as well.

(I am well aware of the psychology of telling people not to do things, so there is a layer of schadenfreude in this warning; you really, really should not donate to terrorists)

Presumably, anyone competent enough to hack one of these fundraisers and doxx their donors already knows it's illegal to do so. The bar for competence is considerably lower for giving money to these terrorists (in fact, the bar for incompetence is quite high), so that assumption is considerably less safe when dealing with potential donors and a warning is reasonable.

Mentioning one is illegal but not the other means supporting the non mentioned illegal actions.

a comprehensive list of things that are and are not illegal.

It seems hypocritical to mention that hacking and doxxing are illegal but not murder.

See how that doesn't work at all? It doesn't work at all. Nothing about this is meant to be a comprehensive list of things that are and are not illegal.

You're right. A related illegal action that was skipped to instead renounce a different illegal action is completely irrelevant.

It seems hypocritical to mention that's breaking the law but not mention the hacking and doxxing.

Calling the truckers terrorists, in my opinion, is rather ignorant. Whether or not you agree with them, they are protestors who feel like they are being discriminated against and want change. They are using what they have available to them to protest just like other protestors have in the past, and as long as they are non-violent, I think its in their every right to protest. Also if they are such a fringe minority then why does it matter if they are vaccinated? You dont need a 100% vaccination rate to reach herd immunity.

When did BLM protestors go to schools and call kids slurs?

Because minimizing the risk of importing new infections is a crucial part of controlling the spread moving forward. We can't control other countries' case rates, but we can control who can bring cases back into Canada from those countries. Those at higher risk (the unvaccinated) must take additional precautions (testing/isolation) to offset that risk. Until recently, the economic disruption of requiring unvaccinated truckers to isolate was considered more damaging than the infection risk they posed, so they were granted a specific exemption from the rules that everyone else had to follow, but they've reached a high enough vaccination rate that having this fringe minority isolate upon returning (not that they can leave in the first place, given that the US won't let them in, so it's really a moot point) is no longer a major problem.

It only takes one inadequately-contained case to trigger an outbreak, especially as other precautions are lifted. If you want to avoid that, you need to keep on top of every possible new case.

You do realize vaccination does nothing to prevent the spread of infection, right?

You dont need 100%, but you would probably want to get as close as possible. And especially truckers, who are going all over the place, and delivering tons of items (like food) to a bunch of places. I feel like they are one of the jobs that should absolutely require it
