Others have already highlighted that you can be vaccinated and anti-mandate, which is what many people are focusing on.

From a numbers perspective, 91.54% of Canadians 18+ have received at least one dose. 88.91% of 18+ have received two.

It's /possible/ that truckers are widely unvaccinated (perhaps they all subscribe to the same train of thought), but it's unlikely.

I am vaccinated, boosted, and anti mandate.

You don't have a right to cross a border and spread a deadly disease. As far as I'm aware, these truckers are allowed to work unvaccinated within their own country.

[carlivar]

Which disease, flu? They've likely been spreading that for decades.

[sudosysgen]

Various disease, actually. Not the flu, but most borders will ask that you're vaccinated for a whole host of diseases if you come for professional reasons.

[carlivar]

Were Canadian truckers previously required to prove vaccination against various diseases?

[sudosysgen]

As far as I understand, Canadians were exempted from these vaccinations for non-covid diseases. That is probably because vaccinations are mandatory as a child in Canada.

At this point a majority of Canadas anti-mandate movement, which recently became a majority is “vaccinated but anti-mandate” just because the numbers literally don’t allow for any other reality.
