First I have to say I am a really big fan of the Freedom Convoy 2022. After watching the last Canadian election I was sure sure that Canadians were willing to sleepwalk into a dystopian nightmare. To instead see them rally as a country against the tyranny that has been imposed on the working class by the global elite, I must say I am proud of our frozen neighbors to the north.
If you want to help support what is actually a peaceful protest and should be held as the measure by which all future peaceful protests should be judged by, please head over to GiveSendGo to show them your support.
If you would like to know more about, what the Freedom Convoy is truly about I highly recommend this article from David Maybury.
The practical side of this however is, once again it, shows why you should not try to force a so called “fringe minority” out of any process, particularly the political process. The trucking community may not have the greatest political clout in the Canadian Parliament, but they can cause a lot of damage to an already stressed economy by simply refusing to work.
While I do support the truckers, it is important to point out however that their strategy would not have been this effective, if it was not for this horrific logistics disaster know as Just-in-Time.
A quick recap, Just-in-Time is a management strategy to maximize profit by only having enough resources on hand to meet projected demand for that cycle.
I am fully aware that I am in the minority when it comes to Just-in-Time and it is the currently preferred management strategy, but the severity of our current supply chain crisis is due in no small part to Just-in-Time. A fact the Truckers are able to capitalize to their benefit.
