Agreed. I've watched the news this past week. We somehow went from A) allowing most illegal activities to B) completely disallowing any form of actual protest. (EDIT: according to rescripting, there are protests still happening in Ottawa. See thread [0]) [0]: https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30434974 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=30434974 They are clearing the entire city. Anybody who doesn't work or live in Ottawa is not allowed to be there - you get arrested for being there. The new Ottawa police chief said something to the effect of "We are doing everything we can to ensure there are no more protests happening in Ottawa." https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRWygfG3D9g https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=nRWygfG3D9g I wish all these law enforcement actions came along with official instructions for how to legally protest. Right now protesting is simply not allowed.
