Profile For Young B.

1996 just after labour day,started truckin'. North America didn't seem all that out of reach,anymore.Team operation starting out covered a lot of ground through USA and Canada in a hurry. CB radio that whole time over 25+ years was always loaded with 'trucker strike' talk. Started ignoring it after a while. Can't believe it's actually happened so many years later but in no way for reasons i'd ever have thought or imagined.Owner operators in really nice iron leading this movement,for obvious reasons.Not saying company drivers not on board but no one is going to hijack a company owned commercial big truck to do it.Lots of hype.The Ambassador Bridge issue.No body more elated to see that bridge shut down than people who live on Talbot Rd in Windsor,On leading up to that civil engineering blunder.Horrible location.'25% of all commerce'...Ya,Ya.Nearly half of Canada lives between Detroit and Montreal.That number being exploited for something it's really not. Gordie Howe Bridge supposed to be complete 2024.Blue Water Bridge built to relieve truck traffic off Ambassador in the first place,which it did.Blue Water doubled it's size with brand new span.Actually bigger than Ambassador.I-94 and I-69 join up with Kings Hwy 402,direct from get-on/get-off ramps.Much smarter.Ambassador Bridge owner/billionare from Detroit passed at 93 tears old.He was never big fan of new bridges.Lost revenue for he.Anyways,something got to be done.It's getting done.Gov folding like sheet,backtracking,damage control.resignations.Interesting and dangerous times.Commerce and shipping extremely important.They go hand in hand.Relationship between Canada and USA is unique in many ways to other neighbouring nations around world not to mention the tremendous tonnage of natural resources here.Lets face it.Its all about money.The land and its resourses are all that has ever been worth anything in the first place sinse we eaver startes recording time.The pressure on the powers that believe they rule over us all is revealing cracks in their foundation like never before.This is getting long.

So what do you guys think about the Canadian truckers and their fight for freedom?

If we do the same thing here, do you guys think you'll go? I realize company drivers can't take their trucks, but you can take your personal vehicle to Washington D.C. or to a protest in a nearby city.

I'll share my views later in this thread. I want to hear what everyone thinks first. You guys know me....I always have a view!
