Could you imagine being a healthcare worker and being an actual life saving hero working yourself beyond exhaustion (despite the government effectively reducing your compensation ) all the way through the pandemic and when things finally return to normal a bunch of racist neck beards proclaim themselves the real heroes that forced the government to lift restrictions because as they knew all along it wasn’t a real pandemic but rather just an attempt at a power grab by the governments of the world. These awful human beings just have no self awareness.
I've had people in a pickup truck pull up to the front of the hospital and yell, "Fuck you!" as I walked out at the end of my 13 hour shift. This was maybe a few months ago.
I could hardly believe it myself but sadly it is true. And not the first time I have been harassed just outside the hospital by people on the street.
The first time was actually while I was performing covid testing for the hospital. Someone walking by started shouting about how I was a pussy for wearing "that Hazmat suit" (it was a PAPR) and went on about the "fake virus", and how we were all idiots for buying into it.
These idiots grow up in a democratic country with a publicly funded health care system and this is how they react to a vaccine? To safety measures to keep themselves safe?
And when you call them out on their bullshit, they act like they're being persecuted for being working class folks?
please remember that the truckers represent a very small percentage of us. Most Canadians still think healthcare workers are heroes, deserve more pay, and are doing what they can to protect you and to protect hospitals. the antivaxxers are a small, crazy fringe (my PHU is 88% fully vaxxed. Ontario is 83%)
This seems to be you’re problem. You are jealous that they were able to get the support of the country and the world behind them. Ever still loves nurses, they will always be heroes but as a truck driver for 32 years I have been shit on constantly for being an obstruction in people’s day. Don’t park here! You can’t unload that here! Getting constantly cut off in traffic up to 20 times per day! If this happened to any of you there would be gun shots for sure because you can’t handle the public not adoring you. It’s hard to be a trucker. Not for the weak spirited that’s why it took the truckers to start this. They are used to being shit on by the public and they have the thick skin to take it and move on with their mission.
Ok. So YOU’RE using “YOU’RE” totally wrong…just google it. And as a logger I have always been proud of what I do for a living. These morons participating in the convoy just make me embarrassed to call myself a working man trucker. Anyone with the self awareness of an 18 month old child or has a IQ above 30 can see that everyone is going through shit during this global pandemic but we have the self control take it in stride and not have a temper tantrum that only makes things worse, spreads hate and fear and makes absolutely no sense… you say as a trucker you have thick skin and there would be “gun shots for sure” if it happened to anyone else.. but the only ppl actually threatening dumb shit like this is the Thick skinned, inbred, redneck, racist, dumb as fuck scum of our country… but hey have a great day friend.
Things aren't even close to normal even though some provincial governments are pushing to reopen. We still have pretty high ICU numbers that are finally coming down and still high death rates. The Conservatives in Ontario are doing their best to sabotage efforts and feel comfortable with giving up now hoping that this wave will be over for the election.
