President Biden is facing the possibility of truck driver protests mirroring those in Canada over vaccine mandates that would come as the administration works to combat supply chain disruptions, vaccinate more Americans and strengthen the U.S. economy, The Hill reports.
The Department of Homeland Security (DHS) on Wednesday warned police partners of protests similar to those in Canada that it said could even disrupt the Super Bowl or the State of the Union address.

(118,864 posts)saying "it is not about anti-vaxxines it is anti-mandate". Que the GOP to be against only mandates and no longer against the option of a vaxxine. False inflection point. More like deflection point.

(47,552 posts)Never about mandates, vaccines, masks.
About creating damage, disruption and damage.

Basically it goes like this.
FREEDOM CONVOY TO DC
2022 LOGISTICS, CARPOOL, LODGING, SUPPORT FORUM
*** DATES ARE FINALIZED***PRESS RELEASE SOON
Get your Flags, cameras and warm clothes ready. Please understand everyone
this is a massivie undertaking, ensuring many things such as fuel, food where
to park, mechanics etc. all over this country.
The Canadian convoy took 8 months to plan and we're planning it a fraction of that,
so please be patient, once in DC...

(15,414 posts)...the police don't simply arrest the protesters, take their keys, and drive their trucks off to an impound lot somewhere? It doesn't make sense to me that causing major traffic disruptions is (to borrow a phrase now in vogue) "legitimate political discourse", even if the Canadian legal system is a bit different from ours.
