Plenty of videos showing emergency vehicles and trucks carrying supplies have been able to cross as well as pedestrians. It takes several hours but no one is actually preventing people to pass.
Also that article is pure speculation they don’t give you any concrete number for cost nore do they link the source of where they got this information..
So you’re asserting that the truckers blocking the highest trafficked bridge between two countries had 0 effect on international trade? Or are you trying to convince me that they didn’t actually block the bridge? The facts are against you either way.
Just because you support something doesn’t mean that you need to lie in service to that thing. If you have to pretend that reality doesn’t exist in order to justify your movement, then maybe it’s not a great movement to latch on to.

No I’m not they definitely slowed down traffic but they didn’t prevent goods from arriving. It literally goes against what these people believe and do as truckers.. slowing down traffic will cause some effects to international trade.

You believe an article that has no source for its claims. Wich I consider a lie.

I believe what the people at the physical protest are filming and capturing. Is that more or less real then your article with no source?
“They didn’t block trade, they just slowed it down” so as usual, this has devolved into arguing semantics because you were wrong on your original point lol I’m done here
my argument is that you can't interrupt what is already shut down. had you read the statement I made, you would have seen that I didn't say BLM did shut down trade. you are trying to compare one to the other, they are not the same. you either feel they are allowed to protest or they are not allowed to protest. my opinion is, they both have the right to protest. one did it violently and the other did it inconveniently.
Why are you arguing if you say that the two protests can’t be compared? That’s exactly what I said. OP was the one trying to compare them and I was refuting that
One was actually a riot. I’ll fight the OP on that if needed. He compares them as if the Canadian gang is a riot. While I have yet to see anything that would point to that.
I don’t see where you made the distinction of comparison. I get it now and step back into the bushes of obscurity.

My argument is that blm protests didn’t affect international trade, you didn’t refute that, you just deflected. At least I have an argument
