I spent the duration of the trucker's protest sitting at home, fully vaccinated, and wearing a mask to go to the grocery store.
My sibling worked daily at the vaccination clinic.
I 180º disagreed with the content of the trucker's argument (less so these days). But I fully supported their right to protest, loudly and irritatingly, because someday I'll need to protest loudly and irritatingly for something I care about.
But of course now I won't protest, because I don't want my bank account arbitrarily frozen with no legal basis "voluntarily" by my bank.
And that's just my bank account, not the basic income I rely on for food.
- bryanlarsen 3y agoCan I come camp outside your house and set off a 120dB train horn at 3AM?

A train horn goes up to 110dB. If you do something illegal, like blast a train horn enough to potentially cause damage of one kind or another, then you can be arrested. You have to be careful about the actual charge though, because arresting someone vaguely "for public disturbance on Parliament Hill" eventually gets you arresting people for holding up blank pieces of paper while standing in silence too. Freezing the bank account of people who hold signs on parliament hill or people who donate to people who hold signs on parliament hill isn't a part of arresting them for doing something illegal.
