If you disagree with my assessment, you "part of the problem, not part of the solution". Particularly as the Ottawa occupiers protested the wrong people, annoyed the locals rather than gathering support from them and weakened the political position of the one major party that could support them. Petulance and annoyance aren't defensible political or moral positions, and the biggest complaint (limited access to the US) was a matter than was outside the control of Canadians. One would have thought they would have protested the US embassy which at least represented the source of their annoyance. Unless they wanted to fly or take a train, there was nothing done by the Federal government to protest. Provincial restrictions were set in Toronto.
- Jonovono 5y agoThanks for expressing your opinion, appreciate it! I met many more locals that supported it than not, but yes I also empathise deeply for those affected, I can definetly agree that wasn't the most fun for some of them (but it would have been if they had come down, we had free food for all and hockey games!) I think you may misunderstand the full extent of what was being protested.
