Is this preventing Big Green Eggs from getting into Canada?

I am more worried about Crown Royal getting here than BGE's getting to them.  But, that's just me.

It appears maybe some version on this is coming to LA this weekend:

https://www.newsweek.com/truckers-california-protest-super-bowl-over-school-mask-mandate-1677777

"The USA Truck Convoy, which posts under the tag TruckersForFreedom, announced on the social media instant messaging site Telegram their intent to "shut down" the Super Bowl, moving forward with the plan after "94% from 4500 votes" in the group shared their support for the action and 10 percent said they could come."

Independent of what you think about what they're protesting here, I really cannot understand why anyone would think that messing up the Super Bowl is a great way to win the battle for public opinion.

I hope they get us our "Agree" button back - because I would have just clicked it.  I can't think of an active forum member that is a trucker.  Do we have any?

When you are convinced you are right, and convinced everyone else agrees with you, then your only problem is a big enough audience.  Superbowl is the perfect vehicle to get your message to the masses.

23,000?  What are the rest of you going to drink?  This better not last long!

I can't find the article anymore, but I read one yesterday that mentioned no convoy until March 1-as a kind gesture from truckers-so that we can all stock up before the country gets shut down.

I can understand trying to make a show at the SB to maybe get some camera coverage/commentary during the day, but trying to shut it down is a different story.

I have always wondered what makes an actors opinion more valid than someone elses opinion?  Why do people place so much value on a person's opinion simply because they are famous?

They aren't.  They just have a larger "microphone" than someone who isn't a public figure.

@piney Gary is a trucker, owns a trucking co.

So, the traffic in LA will be, bad?
