Yes, a group of people decided that the only way to get their message across was to be assholes for a while.

I would label this as an inconvenience. A bunch of Canadians, including commenters in this thread, believe it to be terrorism.

Terrorism to justify removing these peoples rights and not addressing their concerns.

I'm so glad for you Canadians that this Trucker Protest was the closest thing that your nation can approximate to Terrorism. I don't consider this a serious perspective though.

I don’t think it’s terrorism but that’s not why the back accounts were frozen.

The people involved with noise pollution should definitely have been handed significant fines and escalating punishments similar to anyone violating noise ordinances. It gets trickier since these actions are in support of a larger organized effort but that should be the minimum punishment.

The terrorism aspect comes from shutting down trade on a hugely important trade route with our largest trading partner, holding the economy hostage to make demands of the government. That by itself isn’t terrorism per se but the legitimate threats to use violence to keep the embargo going fits the textbook definition of terrorism, using violence or threats of violence to achieve political goals.

Who has called the truck horns terrorism? I see people calling sleep deprivation torture, and I see people calling an armed border occupation terrorism.

Several other posts all over this thread.

At a minimum they were actually taking proactive action to be nuisances in solidarity with terrorists. Whether that makes you a terrorist I don’t know, but historically governments frown on those providing any kind of support to terrorists and tend to use the transitive property when dealing with such actions.

> I would label this as an inconvenience.

Yeah, that kind of comment pops up after "non-violent" protest that privates innocent people of fundamental rights.

Get someone to put you in sleep-deprivation torture for a few days, and tell us back how minor of an inconvenience it is.
