- toolz 5y agoProtesting is only a crime in authoritarian states. Canadians have the right to assembly and expression explicitly stated in the charter of rights.
- zozbot234 5y agoThere's no such thing as a "right" to use trucks to set up an illegal blockade. The trucker convoys are not protesting to fairly and legitimately raise awareness about their grievances; they're trying to get the upper hand by illegal means because much of public opinion clearly opposes their stance already. It's a simple matter, really. A response is quite appropriate.

- mmastrac 5y agoI'm assuming you're referring to Seattle's zone, which was an American political issue, not a Canadian one. It would be more apt to compare to the recent environmental occupations in _Canada_ over the last few years, as we are not the United States.
- _dain_ 5y ago>which was an American political issue, not a Canadian one need I even bother digging up trudeau's statements of support re: american floyd protests? come on, you know this is a feeble distinction. other countries (like my own) never needed or implemented these crude, tyrannical vaccine mandates. trudeau is an international laughing stock.
- mmastrac 5y agoRegardless of his comments on the Floyd protests (which I do not have in front of me), the Canadian situation is comparable only to other Canadian protests. We are not America, and we are a country that has its own way of doing things. Using the phrase "tyrannical vaccine mandates" is not a great way to ensure a productive discussion, however.
- _dain_ 5y ago>the Canadian situation is comparable only to other Canadian protests selective parochialism; you would not hesitate to criticize brutal anti-protest measures in say, russia. >Using the phrase "tyrannical vaccine mandates" is not a great way to ensure a productive discussion, however. why should I mince words? that is what they are. just because the canadian ruling party has groupthinked themselves otherwise, does not mean it is not tyrannical. I will criticise the regime the same as I criticise other tyrannical despotisms.
- mmastrac 5y agoI don't think we can have a productive conversation, but I thank you for teaching me the word "parochialism" (though I disagree with your characterization).
- karpierz 5y agoCorrect, but the protestors aren't being charged with protesting.
