“Breaker breaker get your ears on good buddy over.”
“Sorry? Over.”
“Breaker breaker just giving you all a heads-up that there’s an eye in the sky headed towards the bridge in Ottawa with a couple of blue-light specials, over.”
“Gosh, I’m really sorry but I have no idea what you are talking about, over.”
“Breaker breaker looking at a chicken truck and a couple of covered wagons blocking the bridge and letting you all know that Smokey is on the way so maybe you want to move over to where the skateboards are headed, can I get a 10-4? Over.”
“Again, I don’t really know what any of that means. Over.”
“Breaker breaker — ”
“Look, can you stop saying ‘breaker breaker’? We don’t really use that lingo anymore. Haven’t since the late 1970s. Are you a trucker?”
“10-4 good buddy. Yeah, affirmative, I’m one of your fellow truckers blockading this very crucial trade route between Canada and the U.S. Just sitting here in my big rig. We’re in this together, since I am very much a trucker like you and am totally behind the movement. Over.”
“You got that right. We’ll be here until the Trudeau government falls and the vaccine mandates are dropped.”
“10-4 to that. Could not agree more with at least the second part of that statement, although I might quibble with the first part as, in the opinion of this random anonymous truck driver using a CB radio in a totally normal way, I gotta say that Justin Trudeau is kind of cool. He’s a dynamic young leader and he’s doing a pretty solid job. Over.”
“Who is this? Over.”
“Can I get a 10-20 on you? Over.”
“First tell me who this is.”
“You’re supposed to say ‘over’ when you’re done.”
“Who is this, OVER?”
“Yeah, copy that good buddy, just another one of the truckers who is taking a stand here on the bridge and showing those fellas in the government, though I guess some of them are pretty cool and they’re just trying to keep us all safe, you know? Over.”
“Which rig are you driving, over?”
“Not in a rig per se, at this moment. But you know, basically on your side and all, but, hey, wondering if maybe it would be the cool thing to do to get on moving along, just, you know, say to the gang that we’ve had our fun here and maybe it’s time for us all to get back on the road and whatever? What say you to that? Over.”
“Your voice sounds so familiar.”
“You’re supposed to say — ”
“OVER!”
“Nothing special about me, good buddy, just a regular salt-of-the-earth trucker guy in a big truck with cargo and whatnot being part of this demonstration, but who is now wondering if maybe it’s time to wrap it up. Over.”
“We’re not giving up. We’re making a stand against a lot of powerful elites who insist on making rules for working people — rules they themselves won’t follow. We’re blocking the roads and the bridges for freedom. Oh, and yeah: Over.”
“Copy that and I’m with you, good buddy, but can’t help thinking that the point has been made and it’s time now to get back to delivering and hauling and etc. and trust that Justin Trudeau, who really does seem like a terrific guy, will synthesize what’s been happening here with his other policies and what will emerge is a better Canada. So how about we all just start up our rigs and slowly make our way over the bridge and off the roads and we’ll have the satisfaction of a job well done? I mean, that would be cool, too, right? Over.”
“I know who you are. Over.”
“I’m just an ordinary trucker person hauling groceries down the hammer lane, just like you. Over.”
“You’re Justin Trudeau. I recognize the weakness in your voice. Over.”
“Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha. That’s really rich! That’s a hilarious one! I’m gonna tell the missus about that one, yessir I am. Me! Justin Trudeau! Like, what? He’s using the citizens band frequencies to infiltrate the terrorists wrecking Canada’s economy? I mean, in his opinion? Ridiculous! I’m sure he’s way too busy for this kind of thing anyway. But you know, since you brought him up, he’s kind of a dynamic and appealing young leader, don’t you think? Over.”
“Justin Trudeau is over.”
“Justin Trudeau is what? Over.”
“He’s over over. Over and out.”
Vehicles continue to block downtown streets as truckers and supporters continue to protest Covid vaccine mandates in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada, February 15, 2022.
