Contrary to the statements or implied results put forward by the news media, the trucker blockade was not the main cause of the economic suffering in the communities along the Canada-USA border. Rather, the residents say, that the economic downturn for them began with the COVID restrictions which unfolded in 2020. While the truck blockade has made things tougher, the root of the economic suffering lies with the COVID restrictions.

The trucker blockade at the North Dakota-Manitoba border did it’s fair share of disruption to the local (and, in many ways, unique) economies of the multiple small communities which line the border between the nations of Canada and the USA. However, in talking with business owners from these communities, one quickly gets the impression that the trucker blockade, while disruptive, did not begin the downward trend for these businesses. No, that downward trend began with the implementation of the numerous COVID restrictions in March of 2020, most of which, we now know from the scientific and statistical research which is coming out, were completely useless in halting the spread of the virus. In this bonus episode of the Rural Sense Show, the Professor shares the information and footage he obtained from his trip to the North Dakota-Manitoba border and lays it out for you to see for yourself what the effects have been and what the local businesses are saying they have suffered.
