Many thanks to the thousands of truckers who worked so diligently to bring us produce and other products these last two-plus years of COVID. Thanks to the nearly 90 percent of truckers who were vaccinated to protect themselves, their families and their customers. Thank you.
Thanks also to the truckers who discontinued their blockade at Coutts, Alberta when they discovered they had been hijacked by an extreme right-wing faction armed with guns, ammunition and body armour. Thanks also the truckers who left the Ambassador Bridge blockade that allowed trade worth billions of dollars to continue between US and Canada. Many truckers were willing to find longer and more difficult routes in order to keep things moving. Thanks to those truckers who endured extra hours of delays and travel time in order to do their jobs. Thank you.
Thank you to the truckers who are working with the police to help to prevent human trafficking along the Highway 401 corridor in Ontario. Thanks also to the thousands of truckers who roll through Moose Jaw each year and follow the by-law restrictions and kindly and with consideration do not use engine retarder brakes so family neighbourhoods can live peacefully. Thank you.
Thank you to the above mentioned truckers.
