"you don't have the right to protest if that protest infringes on the rights of other people".
Yes. That has to be the rule. As for instance, it being not allowed to block rail lines - how upset were you when that happened a while ago? Did you think the government should have invoked the Emergency Act and frozen the funds of anyone who has donated to an environmental group?
Protesters regularly violate various laws to various degrees, and the government should indeed shut things down when this gets too egregious. But there has to be some proportionality. The Ottawa protest has been non-violent. Reacting by freezing the bank accounts of anyone who donated to the protesters is an insane level of overreach.
