What happened in Ottawa is not by any reasonable definition a peaceful protest. Continuous honking of truck horns 24 Hours a day for weeks in a residential area is a recognized form of torture. Urging the overthrow of a fairly elected government as the organizers of the occupation in Ottawa did is sedition. Shutting down international borders that much of Canada’s economy relies on is not a legal form of protest or fair to the vast majority of Canadians who are fair minded law abiding citizens.
Would be interested to know what SND would think if his business dried up due to this occupation (note, not protest).
I have deep concerns about policies Canada’s current federal (and my provincial) government espouse. The way, the only way, to change this is at the ballot box in the next election. I consider myself very lucky to live in a country that has free and fair elections. I hope SND will share that opinion.
