We should separate the merits of their argument from the actual conduct of the protesters. dancing on a monument should lead to an arrest but actually smashing monuments is fine? I wandered through on both Saturdays and Sunday and found the media narrative to be misleading. I personally think truckers for example were allowed to cross the border for far too long without vaccine or quarantine but if 80% or more of the population thinks one thing the only way to demand change is to inconvenience people.
Is there more than 10% support for defunding the police for example?
Meanwhile the very useful mandates and lockdowns are approaching the end of their usefulness. The equally extreme fear of the other side notwithstanding. Ironically this is likely to only extend many of these measures especially in Ontario where Ford has nothing to worry about on his right flank.
Municipal election wise-I agree we should have more control over our own streets. Especially outside of the actual parliamentary precinct.
