I just want to address the comment about most protests involving discomfort to normal people. I live and work in the downtown core of Ottawa. I'm sure you will not be surprised to hear that the city is a focal point for protests and ha

Except it was? They released an MOU at the start of this that explicitly called for the resignation of the current government if they were not willing to immediately lift the Covid19 mandates. In the case of a refusal to lift the mandates,

Ah I see what you were meaning now. I agree, while we could say zero violence in a perfect world, we know that is it rife with conflicting interpretations in the real world. I agree with the leaders endorsing violence being a clear market f

That's it. We've successfully answered the question of if it is a peaceful protest.

Great point. It's actually more equivalent than I thought. The vaccine reduces the amount of hospitalizations necessary to treat COVID infections which means we don't overrun our hospitals. Much in the same way that the hospitals

Accepting your premise that it's being forced on us, how is this different from the many other laws we are "forced" to obey as a part of Canadian society?

Are you also against the other laws that we have governing our behaviour as a collective society? For instance, you are "coerced" into driving your vehicle within a certain measure of sobriety.

Isn't it exactly that then? You were shoved into a snowbank once and put this forward as an example of people not being peaceful. Unsuspecting and uninvolved people are being shoved by protesters. Therefore, this is not a peaceful prot

I live in Ottawa. This is not simply unpleasant noise that the residents downtown are being forced to live through. This is a large number of transport trucks and various general trucks blowing their horns throughout the day and night. Ther

You still have to submit detailed plans to the city for your commercial space. An architect is best able to help here as they are familiar with the building code, permitting process, etc. They can also help account for things the prospectiv

I get the mindset and am very much a read-the-code person as well but my go-to example for this kind of thinking is that reading the code in lieu of a written summary/guide, etc is like trying to understand a book where the chapters an

The premise here is evading capital controls. It seems like that would be a crime in Canada.

The jobs associated with planning and building are clearly a positive in an absolute sense. The counter-point is this positive aspect is very much outweighed by the negative aspects. The housing supply for people who actually need somewhere

Anyone familiar with zerohedge? I'm not going to make any real judgements but they certainly don't make a good first impression. They repeatedly claim that they reported this a day earlier than FT but don't even provide a lin

I don't follow this. Why would they have to implement alternative payment methods in the stpre? An app can create their own payment method within the app itself.

I apparently don't follow the news on what they've been doing to Chinese companies. Do you have any links so that I can learn more?

Saying that the US companies chose not to obey China laws, etc is simplifying the situation dramatically in favour of China. In this case, don't the Chinese laws include a requirement for a Chinese "partner" company and oblig

You seem to be misconstruing people's condemnation of the police use of force. The condemnation is due to the police not responding with force appropriately. My interpretation is that the majority of people are simply responding to the
