This is about anonymous foreign money funding political movements. Is it free speech if a foreign political actor sponsors someone to blow an air horn outside

  > Is it free speech if a foreign political actor sponsors someone to blow an air horn outside your bedroom window for a week straight? Because that is literally what happened in Ottowa. I don't know what a "foreign political actor" means, but should a private individual be able to give money to anyone they want? Yes. Should the person receiving the money obey local laws? Yes. But this is more civil disobedience. Protesting is valid political speech. Do I want that to happen in my back yard? Of course not. But that's not particularly useful. Perhaps I don't want bars on my block where I live, but that doesn't mean I have the right to make bars illegal. That's just silly
