I've contacts in Canada, they tell me the effect of the transport blockade was particularly bad in regional areas, there they basically found empty shelves in supermarkets, no fuel for heating, a shortage of critical medicines.

The media focussed on the impact the blockade had on the commercial world, a shortage of supplies for car makers, etc., and completely ignored the human cost. Just another sign of how sick the media has become.

What alarms me is how quickly things deteriorated, not unlike our great bog roll shortage of 2020, imagine that applying to pretty much everything! :o

The other thing that is alarming is how little disruption is required to send things into a spin, I heard one estimate the road blockade reduce supply by less than 20%, yet still having 80% of what is normally available had a massive impact. But I suppose the tell is in the impact of regional areas. It's not that they all get 20% less universally, the problem is that 80% of people are basically not affected, and 20% might get nothing at all, it is not linear. If you are at the end of the supply chain, bad luck for you!

That happened here too *still is happening* thanks to COVID impacting supply chains, workers, etc, and we didnt cop the case load numbers anywhere near as badly as we could have.

Its very interesting that the blockade is blamed for something that we witnessed here in Aus, with minimal cases by contrast.  Couldnt get sliced bread some weeks, rice and pasta vanished from shelves.  The blockaded stopped the supply chain...  Maybe it did, maybe it didnt.  Maybe, there is a lot more to all of it, and people are being manipulated.

I see a lot of comments about Right wing vs Left wing, when the reality is as follows.  If you lose your humanity, trying to act in humanities best interests, the answer is you lost when you started.

You will notice I am deliberately not taking a side.  The people on here should review what they think should happen to people they dont agree with.  This isnt a joke, and I take all of this very seriously.  Humanity has no hope, if we cannot act humanely.
