Or the convoy protestors flooding 911 line in Ottawa with fake calls.
Or the convoy protestors honking _all_ night the first week of the protest. Imagine a resident with a newborn or baby downtown.
Believe it or not, I actually support people's right to choose, with certain conditions/exceptions. However, their actions are out of line and out of hand now.
- refurb 5y ago“ The whole point of protesting is to make ppl uncomfortable. Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows. To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that’s the point.”
- synthos 5y agoFlooding 911 is not "making someone uncomfortable" it's endangering the public and interfering with law enforcement. Blocking an international bridge and disrupting the economy, is that just "making someone uncomfortable"?
- refurb 5y agoHow about burning down businesses?
- version_five 5y ago"Disrupting the economy" - lol There was a satirical article talking about how the government wants protesters to stop shutting down the city, so the government can shut down the city. There are lots of potentially legitimate criticisms of how the protestors are choosing to demonstrate (though personally I think they've been very effective). "Disrupting the economy" is a ridiculous criticism in light of the fact that the government is doing exactly that.
