watched a video of the " big trucks " showing up, the boys from the mines , good luck towing one of them
One thing that worries me about these protests and that no one is talking about is this: I have a feeling that after this is all over no matter how it is settled, there are going to be many retaliatory laws, taxes, rules, and regulations imposed on truckers and farmers by both the US and the Canadian government.
There are a lot of things that us farmers do where they government turns a blind eye to, or “let’s it slide” if you will. One of them being the ability to drive your own semi to haul your own goods within a 150 mile radius of your farm and not need a CDL. If the government decides to crack down on this someday, that would drastically affect farmers and how they move their products to market. I could rattle off a bunch of little procedural things like this on farms and ranches that the government could totally upend with the stroke of a pen.
Think about it. Yes, the truckers and farmers are making a huge impact right now and I’m 100% in support of them but the government is always going to have the upper hand.

Darn things want you to join to keep reading.
Sucks!
This mindset is how you lose freedoms. I disagree wholeheartedly with this. If that were true, then how did America become America? Brit govt have the upper hand? Nope.
I hear what you are saying here but think about it. This isn’t the day and age of muskets and cannons. If the shit really truly hit the fan and a bunch of us rednecks got together and started an uprising, all it would take is a few strategic drone strikes here and there and it would be all over. We are in the day and age of big government watching over on us and spying on our communications and what not.
Look at how they spun the January 6th protest. Everybody was racist and white domestic terrorists are the biggest threat to this country. Give me a break. The government controls the media and the media controls the masses. It is what it is right now.
Doesn’t mean a guy can’t stand up for what you believe in. Just means that at the end of the day we all gotta fall back in line and give big brother what is due to him. I hate it just as much as you do.
