Funny you would mention this.Rwy in Sight wrote: ↑Mon Mar 21, 2022 5:13 amIf a strike and a demonstration mean people down-line are losing their income I expect the government to stop the demonstration to help people go on with their live.
Last month in Ottawa, when the truckers arrived the coffee shops and restaurants, in the area of where they encamped, were opened and started doing a brisk business. Best in two years since for two years all government offices, and a few businesses, in that area were "working" from home and restaurant business was dismal. That lasted a few days, but when the government (city of Ottawa) realized the truckers weren't leaving they sent the police to the shops and restaurants telling them to close "for their own safety", of course.
The demonstrating truckers were not inconveniencing many people. There are no residential buildings in that area and businesses and government offices are still empty. the only ones inconvenienced were the politicians who had to go through the truckers, none of which were violent or threatening.
So the ones who were losing their income were the shops because the local government shut them down, and the truckers because the federal government wouldn't let them operate as of certain date if not vaccinated, while they operated unvaccinated for two years prior to that date.
The protesters are not the problem; the government is (and always has been and always will be).
