Can we allow a small minority to shut down an economy indefinitely? That seems like a big problem.
It is also hard to gauge just how small of a minority of Canadians this is though. It feels pretty small but it is hard to tell. If 80% of Canadians are vaxxed that means this is just 5-10% of people at most.
- Wolfenstein98k 5y agoThere are vaccinated people there too. Don't fall for the "team sport" false dichotomy - there are many who are rational enough to get vaccinated but still largely side with the "less / less broad restrictions" side of the debate. (For instance, I am vaxxed, extremely pro-vax, and quite anti-restriction. Give everyone a chance to get vaxxed, even make it free - but then let them manage their risk from there. Even the most effective restrictions, from a case load perspective, such as here in Australia, just left us completely naive when Omicron arrived. Shortly thereafter we had world record cases per capita.)
- pfisch 5y agoAre you using your truck to block the economy of Canada right now? Have you participated in the protests with your actual body in any way? Do you even live in Canada or do you represent the interests of another country entirely?

- pfisch 5y agoHe claimed pro vax people like himself are the people protesting. How can he make such a loaded claim if a) he isn't protesting and doesn't know any pro-vaxxed protesters and b)he doesn't even live in Canada and couldn't be in the protest even if he wanted to.
- Wolfenstein98k 5y agoI know people (online) who have attended, and I know various libertarian vaccinated people who support it.
- pfisch 5y agoAre those online people vaccinated?
- Wolfenstein98k 5y agoDo you eat with chopsticks? Have you participated in a blood ritual? Do you even live north of the equator or do you represent the interests of another hemisphere entirely? Are we just asking each other preposterous questions?!
- pfisch 5y agoHe used himself as an example of the protestors. How can he know that unless he is a protestor or knows pro vax protestors?
