Tony Leah, Political Action Committee Chair of Unifor Local 222, Oshawa looks at the so-called "Truckers Convoy" from a class perspective and concludes the bullies in the big rigs should be more properly described as owner-operators. They are not Teamsters or in any way part of organized labor. They do not demand higher pay or job security because they are contractors, contractors with right-wing affiliations and financial support. They have the backing of Donald Trump and Elon Musk. And they are a minority in the trucking industry which is 80% vaccinated.
There is a curious and worrying element about the demand for lifting mandates and ditching masks. On the same day Maxime Bernier, a prominent right-wing political leader, called for lifting all restrictions and mandates saying, of Covid/Omicron, that "we'll just have to live with it," a top medical officer in Toronto said the exact same thing. And reflects a common political plan of ruling-parties in the U.S. and Canada. Having failed to protect our people, they want to weaponize the failure and are beginning to insist that China (and also Cuba and Vietnam) must abandon their successful zero-Covid policy and expose their population to the disease.
