Depriving people of sleep for weeks on end is violence. I hope a few trucks honk outside your home for weeks. You'll change your tune in no time. Sleep depravation is literally a torture technique.

How is protest possible if disruption is terrorism? Please get a grip.

(That said, thank you for demonstrating that I wasn't exaggerating.)

I used to live in Toronto near queen's park. There were very frequent protests down yonge and in queens park. Never once in all the time I lived there was I prevented sleeping by protestors honking outside my building all night.

I was also never once confronted, cornered, harassed, or yelled at by protestors. Not once. These actions are not ok and not typical of any protest. Yes I was frequently inconvenienced with the street blocked, but that's fine, the cost of living in a democracy.

Protesting does not involve attacking fellow citizens.

Did the protests achieve anything besides re-affirming your perception that you live in a democracy?

The horn usage did not go on for weeks on end. It was an early concession to stop

It was not a "concession" it was stopped by a judge issuing an injunction because the truckers were sued by locals. That lawsuit is still ongoing.
