Putting the hurt on 50k people in an attempt to coerce the government into changing policy is terrorism.

Disagree with everything you're trying to say. Terrorism has evolved into a doublespeak term used to describe your systems' quasi enemy...This was just civil disobedience and like any form of civil disobedience (that isn't directly sanctioned by government actors) they got slaughtered. The government in Canada pushed through extremely draconian Wuhan-styled lockdown rules and, just like what Camus wax-philosophized over, there's a breaking point with subjugated humans and a price those subjugating put on their own "hurt".
"The six thousand crosses which, after such a just rebellion, staked out the road from Capua to Rome demonstrated to the servile crowd that there is no equality in the world of power and that the masters calculate, at a usurious rate, the price of their own blood."

Pretty much none of "lockdown" rules were federal - and at least in my province, I never felt more than mildly inconvenienced. Literally the worst thing I experienced was a shutdown of indoor team sports for a season.

Is blocking a bridge also terrorism? Or is it just federal employees that get to not have anyone bothering them?
