You must have skipped the parts of the "protest" that stretched way down streets like Kent St. and Metcalfe St. No fancy condos down there. Just cheaper apartments. That's where the problems were happening. If it had just been limited to the stretch of Wellington in front of Parliament, it wouldn't have been a big deal. But streets like Kent, Metcalfe, and O'Connor (and the cross streets between them) where the noise and diesel exhaust were messing up people's lives. I'm sorry, but honking your air horn for 10 minutes in a residential neighbourhood is a criminal offense. And it's not like you're sticking it to the elite, here. Somerset Ward is one of the lowest-income wards in the city. Only Vanier is lower, and not by much. Your dismissal of this as only affecting a few high-priced condos and side streets is shocking. The affected area was nowhere near 90% government buildings. For example, this section of Kent was full of protest vehicles making noise at all hours: https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.4168826,-75.7005369,3a,75y,112.16h,92.13t/data=!3m6!1e1!3m4!1sanJDk6oHE-MaH9Amsi_YhQ!2e0!7i16384!8i8192 https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.4168826,-75.7005369,3a,75y,11... Do those look like high-priced condos to you? Ditto for this section of Metcalfe: https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.4180527,-75.6932468,3a,75y,56.67h,99.75t/data=!3m7!1e1!3m5!1sZqMermY-pjhp7LJ5lyCRRg!2e0!6shttps:%2F%2Fstreetviewpixels-pa.googleapis.com%2Fv1%2Fthumbnail%3Fpanoid%3DZqMermY-pjhp7LJ5lyCRRg%26cb_client%3Dsearch.revgeo_and_fetch.gps%26w%3D96%26h%3D64%26yaw%3D154.1878%26pitch%3D0%26thumbfov%3D100!7i16384!8i8192 https://www.google.ca/maps/@45.4180527,-75.6932468,3a,75y,56... I know it's easy to dismiss the people living downtown when you live out in Barrhaven or Kanata, but I'm saddened by your callous disregard for your fellow citizens living in a low-income part of the city. Just because you don't notice them, it doesn't mean they aren't there. I don't mean for any of this to be pejorative; it just sounds like you're someone living in a suburban part of the city who went to the protest, walked around the party zone, and assumed that stretch of Metcalfe/Rideau represented the entire thing.
