> ...now the conservatives can use emergency powers to deal with protests too. The cat's out of the bag, and people with left-leaning politics who were okay with the powers being applied to the trucker protest, I'm sure we'll find they're all of the sudden not so okay when it's applied to a protest they favour.

That just means the conservatives can never be allowed to win elections...to protect Democracy!

Hmm it looks like all protest are being dealt very softly now. Natives? We don't want another 1990 oka. Students? Don't want another 2012 printemps érable. Truckers? Well I'm not sure about that one. Was the majority of the police on the protester's side? A bunch sure. But most? Nah. Wasn't there like only 1% of all truckers there? They had the means but not the number. Also if freezing bank account ended it without any police lifting a finger, it's best no?
