OTTAWA- Prince George-Peace River-Northern Rockies MP, Bob Zimmer has shared a statement to outline his support for the truck convoy headed to Ottawa.
“My wife Val and I honked and waved on Sunday to show our support for our local truckers as they took to the road to protest the newly-imposed truckers mandate by Justin Trudeau. Imposed at a time when we are already seeing supply chain shortages and skyrocketing inflation, the Prime Minister is implementing a mandate that will leave tens of thousands of truckers unable to work and puts our food security at risk.
Conservatives have always supported Canadians’ right to determine their own health choices. For those who are unvaccinated, we continue to believe in reasonable measures, such as rapid testing, to help protect everyone, especially the most vulnerable.”
Zimmer adds Canadian truckers have been extremely throughout the pandemic, providing food and essential supplies from coast-to-coast. He says this mandate is an attempt to divide Canadians by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
“I support our northern BC truckers as well as those from across Canada. I have, and always will, support every Canadian’s right to peacefully and lawfully protest.”
