The Trucker Convoy, and our support of it, divided us from most of our population in our small university town. Even now, when our family and friends want to move on, extend a hand to us, we look askance at them.

I'm sorry, Meg, that you experienced this. The past few years have done so much harm to social cohesion - in families, amongst friends, at workplaces, churches, and in our communities.

Donna, I agree that generally there is far more honour in truckers than in journalists, for a valid reason. A trucker, when closing the ignition switch, operates on the hard edge of reality. Hour after hour they guide metal monsters through an ever-changing maze, and if an owner/operator must do so on time and within budget. A journalist, in turn, needs to first satisfy an editor and then impress a fickle audience.

Because we live in an industrialized world, ever more people are professionally separated from the real world.

If you work for the Redstar you are already compromised. It is like working for CNN. People find their level of incompetence. If they are really brainwashed they do their job knowingly and deliberately trash their fellow Canadians. The Trucker vax mandate was the height of bureaucratic stupidity yet Mr. Trudeau could not figure it out. His assessment was that they were defying his commands and he was not going to have any of that. Most media did not go to DT Ottawa to assess for themselves. The relied on second and third hand coverage, often by sources with a bias against the Truckers. Mr. Sabia will never be accountable unless our man Pierre displaces the current occupant, who is not fit for the office.
