Mixture of things - First - what they are protesting is mandating vaccines as part of doing a job and general restrictions meant to curb Covid, at least that’s my understanding as both a non Canadian and someone only vaguely focused on it. So really what they are protesting is a disagreement about the ethics of a government taking actions to protect people during a pandemic and where the line should be drawn. Second - if we assume my assertion above is correct it becomes relevant that these groups are being led by extremists because it undermines the belief they are arguing in good faith and not merely using the current situation for their benefit. If prior to Covid you advocated to secede from the national government over presumed grievances and now you’re leading some protest against it for something else I have to wonder if you’re not just an opportunist. (You here doesn’t refer to you but to the organizers) Basically - I don’t trust that the leaders are operating in good faith. It falls similarly to hearing Tucker and the rest of the Fox crew rant against vaccines, vaccine mandates, and any sort of reasonable public health tools knowing full well they are vaccinated and have a far more strict vaccine mandate than most places. They are using people, and in some cases getting them killed, for their own motives. I don’t like that.
