A group of people fed up with pandemic restrictions were part of a slow moving protest on the highway between New Brunswick and Nova Scotia over the weekend. It coincided with another group leaving British Columbia on their way to Ottawa to show their displeasure with Canadian and American officials mandating drivers who cross the border to be fully vaccinated. The Canadian Trucking Alliance (CTA) said in a statement on Saturday, it does not support any protests on public road ways and the only way to cross the border on a commercial truck is by getting vaccinated. They say their vaccination rates are about the same as in the general population in Canada. And it's not the reason for issues with the supply chain according to the Atlantic Province's Trucking Association. Jean-Marc Picard is their Executive Director and he says people are tired of all of the rules and restrictions. But he says these protests won't change that, and they aren't addressing the real challenges the industry is facing.
