Doesn't this bullshit affect their daily work? I would think it does.

sadly, the media is not covering them to the extent they are covering the relatively small minority that are causing the trouble and violating the law. Covering the majority of truckers against this protest doesn't get the 'clicks' hyping the 'protests' do.

...everyone's attention. However, most say nothing, move on and leave matters to Mom.

Now the screaming toddlers are grown-up but not grownups.
They are kindergarten-ers.
We may spare them the rod, but they need time-out.

there is something wrong with the government that is allowing this to continue.
This is beginning to hurt many people who are or will soon be out of work because the Canadian government(s) are refusing to enforce the law.
