And insurance. If you’re treating bodily harm - you’re way past your “free speech” rights.

I hope Canada does something soon to remove the people.
Not looking forward to having this happen in America. People feel they can get away with anything because at this point no penalty has taken place.

That would be one way to do it. I also agree with revoking their CDLs.

Show live video of them dropping off their loads (abandoned vehicles) at the crusher yard. The problem will probably solve itself before they return for another load.

but this is over defying protective measures for the majority of their country men, women, and children.

They ought to go to jail and all government contracts with private contractors should be voided and their CDLs should be revoked.

I even notice on the highway that truckers who work for trucking companies seem to have better driving etiquette than those driving for themselves. Anyone ever stop at a highway stop where truckers are eating...especially in the blood red states? We have many times. Not a good experience. Then there are some that we have sat with who are pretty decent. I guess it really depends on the individual.

This movement though, indicates to me that most of these are selfish pricks who only want to help make ugly history and others doing it or make them sick.

Trumpian thinkers all over the world bringing down humanity.
