On a new Big Shiny Takes our pals Eric Wickham, Marino Greco and Jeremy Appel welcome CANADALAND COMMONS host Arshy Mann to talk about the Trucker Convoy the dumbest political action in the entire world, which was not astroturfed at all, and which demanded that avowed Marxist-Leninist Justin Trudeau remove any vaccine mandates for truckers (conveniently ignoring the fact that 90% of truckers that cross into the United States from Canada are fully vaccinated).

The gang also endure an Edmonton Journal column from noted political loser Nathan Steinke as they review his several hundred word piece fetishizing truckers as a symbol of working class purity.
