Our parliament was closed for most of the pandemic, so 1) opposition wasn't possible, and 2) our Charter of Rights is being violated - due process isn't being followed.
Jordan Peterson just released an interview with a now retired First Minister who is last living politician who helped craft our Charter of Rights in 1981/1982, where they go into detail about it: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhFuMDLBDM https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EdhFuMDLBDM - they include the initial and post interview "behind the scenes" as part of transparency - so there's background noise initially while they're getting setup.
An elected government going through a process wrongly and putting it forward as truth, as legal, would be an illegal law.
Indeed, that would be a wild way to live - which is why we generally blindly trust our government, which is a huge problem - but when it's as important and critical as moments like this, people start standing up and protesting.
There's also the https://FreeNorthDeclaration.ca https://FreeNorthDeclaration.ca with 500+ Canadian lawyers who have signed - their petition and hope is to educate Canadians that laws are being broken and that due process isn't being followed.
