Go ahead. Block all the bridges.
All eight of them.
Grapes go from Peru to
Philadelphia to the Ontario Food
Terminal to grocery chain
warehouses where government
mandated vaccinations are not
in place for employees, to
supermarkets where compulsory
government mandated vaccinations
for employees have also never
been in place for the entire two
years of the pandemic, it’s
optional. The exploited retail
grocery store worker loophole
has never been plugged, they
can just continue working until
they drop dead thank you very
much so if 20 percent of
truckers don’t want to get
vaccinated, let ’em, what do
I care?
I like curves too.

The Ambassador Bridge to
Detroit is a privately owned
American concern.
Their mafia public relations
firm that usually tells us
what a good deal it is and that
the 14.87US that it costs to
cross is worth every penny,
has been strangely silent
during this blockade.

General Motors and Ford own
all the nuts and bolts and
screws in Michigan anyway
and now that trained rats
hold up the interstate access
and exit signs on the
American side and signs
don’t have to be bolted,
there’s always
a lot of car parts somewhere
and they should stop
complaining.

The Ambassador Bridge is not
much of a blockade anyway and
the news cameras only show
you that part of the parking lot
normally reserved for Canadians
to get out of their cars
upon return and
give thanks to God for having
survived another trip to
Detroit.

The Ambassador Bridge is
derelict and should have been
replaced a long time ago.
After crossing you are dumped
into the worst part of the
Detroit ghetto.
That being said, the toll booths
are now the only buildings
in downtown Detroit that don’t
have boards nailed onto them
and appear very modern.

It wasn’t always so.
Back in the day before cell phones
the Ambassador Bridge was
the freedom bridge to the magic
world of Detroit. This was before
you had to ask yourself
questions like “is the daytime
gunfire getting any closer to you?”
or, is “lying face down in a vacant
lot until nightfall a valid
security precaution?”
( no it isn’t anymore)

In the early eighties only very
rich white people said
motherfucker to each other on
the golf course, a long time
before Eminem said it to his
grade 2 school teacher or Marine
Corps drill instructors to their new
recruits and way before big black
guys wore fur coats and hung
car hood ornaments around
their necks.

My personal take on the covid
pandemic is that God is going
to bury all that stuff six feet
under never to return.

Detroit was a dangerous place
and an exciting place and was
home to and what still is the best
collection of Beaux Arts
skyscraper architecture outside
of Manhattan.

I remember, and I dedicate this
all to trucker convoys and
Biker Law Blog, how the sports
editor at the Detroit Free Press
let me out onto the roof
of the Free Press building for an hour to take photos. It was incredible.

I was Batman with a camera
in Gotham City, skyscrapers
everywhere, thank you USA
and the Detroit Free Press.

Emboldened by my success
I picked a skyscraper at
random and went in and hit the
button for the 34th floor.
The elevator doors opened
to reveal a giant floor to
ceiling Federal Bureau of
Investigation medallion with
two FBI agents running my way
yelling “what do you want?”

“I want to take pictures of
the skyscrapers across the
street’, and they said you
can’t and I said why and they
said that’s the CIA over there
and sometimes we do work
for them and then I guess
I kinda lost it and said
“blow me, you do not”,
or some other internationally
insensitive thing and
was then manhandled by both
agents back into the elevator
where they hit the wrong
button and we ended up in
the basement cafeteria
with other FBI agents in
non lethal positions
eating their lunch and I would
be allowed to buy some too
if I was hungry.
I haven’t been back to
Detroit since.

Fast forward and three cheers
for the FBI to threaten an
investigation into
the Trucker Convoy GoFundMe
platform to make sure people
got their refunds after the
Ontario Government shut it
down and froze the assets.
Seizing money on legal pretexts
and making it disappear
behind a wall of silence is
a very Canadian way of doing
business.

So is Walmart saying covid
antigen self test kits are free
as long as you buy 35$ in
groceries after the government
sent out millions of free new
test kits to retailers last week.
(Walmart backpedaled in
four hours)
Free is free.

I support vaccinations, mask
wearing, and the Trucker
Convoy platform that we don’t
want to live in a police state.
