They have a right in what sense? I've never heard of a government doing that. The fact that they had to use an emergency order to do so suggests that they do not have the right.
In what sense are the truckers 'using money' to infringe on rights? The money doesn't seem critical to the movement to me. You can just as easily say they are 'using food' and mandate that they should be starved.
- TameAntelope 5y agoThe money may not seem critical to the movement to you, but it is literally the only way they've been able to continue the blockade for as long as they have. And yeah, I wouldn't be opposed to blocking access to food from these truckers until they moved their trucks, that makes sense to me. Their decision, at that point, would be to starve themselves by not going to where food is available to them, but otherwise it makes perfect sense to prevent access to necessities to people who are infringing on the rights of others, while they're actively infringing on those rights and can stop at any moment.
