    This wasn’t really about free speech though, it was about actions and if you blockade a city, waiting for the PM to resign, you should be not allowed to do that. If the Ontario Police Force or Ottawa Police did their job at enforcing rules, the Feds wouldn’t have done anything.

    What’s the limit on protesting? Can we all form a blockade around Pierre’s house and shout loudly until he quits as leader of the CPC?

      Well if you are indigenous you can have RCMP bash in your door with an axe and arrest you without a warrant, because you are a protestor. And also arrest media trying to film removing protestors. But white truckers are fine to do what they want.

      I think the question is how far along you are to the October crisis before the emergencies act can be deemed to be constitutional? Does it take one murdered minister to invoke it? Or should it be invoked before it happens?
