I never said it was treason. Treason is a criminal offense. https://www.thecanadianencyclopedia.ca/en/article/treason

I said it was undemocratically overthrowing the government. That is a political act.

I fail to see the distinctions drawn. What makes it UN democratic to ask your government to make change through lawful process? It's not like the policies were put in place by public referendum.

How can something be a terrorist plot to overthrow the government, but not treason?
