I’m not familiar with this, I would love to see counter arguments instead of silent down votes.

The “freedom” convey blocked ottawa streets and shut down businesses for a month, over vaccines. at that stage it was an illegal protest and to force compliance the government froze assets of the major organizers. While it is a scary overreach, the protesters were disrupting residents that lived there with constant honking in the night, the blocking of streets limited emergency workers. They seemed to think they could just do what they wanted, but peaceful protest is impeding traffic temporarily then letting traffic through, the “freedom” people trod over everyone elses freedoms and damaged the economy of that region for a month.

“illegal protest”

Insurrection, let’s call it what it was, saying you want to hang politicians is vastly different from a simple protest, so is using what is considered torture tactics on the local population.

Oh wow, yeah that’s not that simple. Although using the banks as a tool in that is honestly pretty scary.

If you’re going to launch an insurrection against the government don’t be surprised if it retaliates. Would you say it’s scary that the government does the same thing for terrorists?

It’s worth stating that one of their requirements was for the recently formed government to step down and put their chosen leaders from the “stolen election” in power.
