Unless it’s to oppose COVID restrictions, in which case there is am unlimited right to indefinitely blockade border crossings and the streets of the national capital, no matter how much economic damage it causes and how many lives it ruins, is that correct? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never said that. I said it was illegal to do those things and I never supported it. I support the opposition to the Manchurian Communist dictator.

No, you have to stop as soon as a judge says you must. Such cases are common and always the authorities get a judicial order requiring the protesters to go away. That never actually happened in ottawa. Nobody actually ruled it wasn't legal. They were never told by a judge that they were in violation and had to stop. THe closest they came was the honking, and when the judge orderedt hey stop Strange that, wouldn't you say? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

At the time I did not support the protests in 2022, but since that time, I have modified by view and do have some sympathy and agreement with their opposition to the little dictator. I don't think the vaccine mandates were justified in all circumstances and I don't agree with seizing people's bank accounts simply for making a donation to the Freedom Convoy. Do you agree with them seizing anybody's bank account? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

How were the people who had donated to the truckers convoy criminals exactly? Which criminal code did they violate? Were they charged or informed? What you really mean is you support dictatorship and violating human rights as long as it involves someone you don't like.

The truckers had the right to protest and so do Palestinians. You don’t get to have different rules for the groups you like. Either you support free speech or you don’t. Obviously violence is another matter. The courts can and do shut down highly disruptive activities, though in Canada they generally let much more go if it’s an Indigenous railway blockade or BLM riot. Too much radical left ideological capture in Canada. Edited January 10 by Zeitgeist 1 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clearly, the truckers were on a different scale happening for weeks on end while the pro-Palestinian protestors are not nearly as disruptive. Rules should be applied equally though.

The Truckers Protest was a loose organization of thousands of people who heard there was going to be a protest against the little dictator and they were not convicted of a crime and most did nothing illegal. A few involved in the occupation were charged and being tried. But the overwhelming majority were not charged or convicted of anything. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What are you gonna do with Kamala Harris, who pimped a bail fund to get violent rioters back on the streets at a time when innocent civilians were being assaulted, billions of dollars worth of property was being destroyed, gov't buildings were being seized, criminals were claiming sovereignty over parts of US cities, and cops were getting killed? If a private citizen gives $50 the the entirely peaceful bouncy castle protest and loses all access to all of their own earned money, what do you do to Kamala, TB? What she did was worse by orders of magnitude... Edited January 10 by WestCanMan Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t agree with either group! lol Every right has limits. Nope. Protesting has limits though. Honking and blockades were dealt with through courts and police without the totalitarian Emergencies Act, freezing bank accounts, and other creeptoid violations of our Constitution. Palestinians can protest. Violence and clear verbal abuse are not okay. Hamas are clearly terrible and any organization that uses murder to advance its cause without declaring war, including and especially of civilians, must be recognized as terrorist in nature. I don’t know the legislation around protests that support terrorist organizations. I understand that unfortunately terrorist organizations are seen by some as freedom fighters, and the population that the organization claims to represent is somewhat stuck with such groups as their representatives. However, Hamas was democratically elected, which means that a significant portion of Gazan voters support a terrorist organization. Though I imagine many Gazans who supported Hamas in the past wouldn’t have supported what happened on October 7. I’d like to think that anyway. I’m really not sure.

CdnFox Posted January 10 Report Share Posted January 10 1 hour ago, TreeBeard said: Do you want people’s accounts frozen who fund terrorist organizations like Hamas? No - you charge them with a crime if they are a listed terror organization. That's how law works. Freezing people's accounts WITHOUT due process is NOT how teh law works - that's how scumbag authortarian liberals who want to repress legitimate demonstrations work. Hamas is a listed terrorist organization. It is and should be illegal to donate to and support them. If someone does deal with it within the law. If they are not breaking a law then you leave them alone and they can support whom they like.
