> The freedom convoy and it's repression with suspension of constitutional rights

This was needed because the convoy of morons was seriously damaging people's quality of life and the local police did not do their job. The police in other towns DID do their job and blocked the trucks. You should be mad at the cops who just sat by and watched the convoy of morons roll in with their thumbs up their butt.

What exactly is allowed in a protest is quite a thorny issue.

Here in the UK there are environmental protestors gluing themselves to the streets and I have quite mixed feelings about them.

A protest that does not inconvenience anyone is very easy to ignore.

You can see here how wild and inconvenient these protests were. The bouncy castle and hot tub were a big public nuisance!

The constantly idling giant trucks very much were a public nuisance. YOU wouldn't want to live near them.
