As long as those holding the spear don't have to be out on the tip they will try to "convoy" DC. Good little soldiers will carry the fight while the generals stay out. Two ways for traffic to enter D.C. Through Maryland or through Virginia. Hogan (MD) likely won't put up with it. Youngkin on the other hand would probably give them a police escort.

Faux News certainly sees "different" people crossing the border "differently".

IIRC Mr. M T Flynn was pretty good at misinformation dispersion and cyber warrior before, and still be a very good guess....

They all work with help from Putin is also a good bet!

The government response to this is being conducted by idiots.

They have universal health care, all they have to do is say any additional expense related to non-vaccinated people contracting covid will be charged to the individual if it happens.

Don't stop the truckers from picking up their loads. Tell them if they want to gamble, they'll pay. There's no evidence the vaccine is reducing transmission of the virus. Only that non-vaccinated people have more serious problems when they do get sick.

That goes for the USA side as well. Let them in. Send them home if they get sick.

Gawd. Follow the science, make the penalty realistic.

Some common-sense response. However, the govt does not want to give any appearance that it caves to people who apparently are not part of its constituency.

One point missed by many, is the overloading the facilities with sick with C-19. With the vast majority of the effected and needing the most care.....Unvaccinated!

There again it is the me's verses the we's.... Where the me's are all about personal freedoms, personal discomfort, simple selfishness with little to no thoughts of others. When the solution seems to be a very simple one, get a series of shots and lesson the severity of the secondary effects for everyone else.

A good friend was sick with C-19 before vaccines, his bill was over a million dollars. Sure insurance picked up the lions share Yet I'm not foolish enough to think charges like this will not effect future cost for us all in the end. Also think of the staff being worked to extremes.... they need a break.

Hospitals here are full, with folks on gurneys in hallways.
My SO had to be hospitalized with a seriously infected foot, waited for nine hours for a room in the ER. Released prematurely, another trip to the ER, this time the foot is ulcerated with signs of necrosis. Another 6 hour wait for a room in the ER and subsequently hospitalized for an extended period of specialized care to save the foot from amputation as of more than a week ago.
The covid caseload is very real with real consequences for patients and health care staff.

The liars and deniers never seem to address this. It's like to them the health care workers don't exist. Once in a while one of the little minions of misinformation will spew something like "they're inflating the numbers of Covid patients" or "doctors get more money by declaring everything as Covid".

"Windsor judge gave the protesters until 7 p.m. to clear the area before the order allowing police to clear access to the Ambassador Bridge took effect on Friday."

So far the so called protestors have not complied, and Canadian law enforcement has not enforced the order.

What's up with the Canadian police?
