Peaceful? Do you realize how loud those horns are? Some of them are using train horns, they are extremely loud. People can’t even get groceries. They are shitting on the sidewalks. They are harassing healthcare workers, women, anyone wearing masks…

Whether their accounts should be frozen is a valid debate to be had. But they’re far from well behaved at this point.

Honestly, suspending civil liberties is a ridiculously unmatched response to loud horns. It mainly just shows how sheltered the people of ottawa are.

And the rest of your post is made up.

So not one person involved in the protests has urinated or defecated outdoors?

And not one person involved in the protests has harassed a single person wearing a mask?

Tell me more about this amazingly peaceful protest without a single aspect of misbehavior. "Made up"? Citation needed.

Do you expect a gathering of a ton of random people to remain 100% civil? Like that's not even true of small gatherings. And of course some have pooped on the sidewalks, there's droves of homeless etc. at the center of it. I'm not even sure what you're trying to say.

Nope, I don't expect them to be 100% civil. I also don't go around telling people that point out that, in fact, they're not 100% civil are "making things up".

And the bouncy castles! Will someone just get rid of the bouncy castles?

> How many buildings have the truckers torched?

I can anticipate the reply, but there's been an attempt of at least one, possibly with ideas about a second.[1][2]

> How many people have they injured?

This is an interesting phrasing of this. It implies an assault without injury is not an worthy of consideration. The actual answer is not entirely known by anyone outside law enforcement I would guess but there's been a few.[3][4][5]

> How can emergency powers be invoked against peaceful protests? Ideas are not violence.

Unless your definition of "peaceful" is "the majority of participants are not looting/destroying property or assaulting people", this is not a peaceful protest.

The ideas here are not coherent either, nor are the directed at where the changes can happen. As relates to the covid mandates, the Federal government actually only has powers over a handful of areas; the majority are held by the provinces. Indeed, the original precipitating mandate could be dropped tomorrow and it would change basically nothing at the borders because the US government also has the same mandates in place.
