Also, "the state" seems to tacitly support the protests. Others have rightly pointed out, that had this been a left-wing protest, "the state" response would have been brutal and decisive. So it's kind of hard to see why they'd do it this way rather than taking a much more direct approach.

I have no doubts that the true culprits for this hack will be found and the punishment will be orders of magnitude worse than anything the truckers will receive.

Recent history does not support this view.

When left-wing railway blockades shut down the entire CN rail network, there was no "brutal and decisive" response. It took the better part of a year to resolve, and the OPP didn't enforce the court ordered injunction CN got, and the Liberal government was meeting frequently with the protestors.

Even though many Anglo left-wing groups are sympathetic to, and act in solidarity with the First Nations, is it accurate to label indigenous protesters as left-wing protesters? How united was the left when the Mohawks stood in the way of Quebecois nationalism? Perhaps it is imprecise to conflate incipient nationalist groups within Canada with "left-wing."
