The same goes for if you can provide for yourself or not. Are you a functioning taxpayer? Minor traffic infraction and they fine you in every creative way they can imagine (direct fine, points system, insurance premiums). Oh, but you're a crackhead piece of shit career criminal? Jail doesn't seem to deter you so we'll just put you back on the street to continuously reoffend and blame it on the people working 50 hours a week to pay for your welfare.
There's a few places near where I live where a 4-lane highway with only a few turnoffs is labeled at 60km/h, but everyone goes 80km/h because that's what the road should actually be. Of course, the cops occasionally try to catch "speeders" and hand out fines here. There's another spot where this 60km/h zone goes to 100km/h and cops set up just before the 100km/h sign so they can catch people as they speed up to 100km/h. This is basically abject theft, in that they're purposely criminalizing what is literally the normal behaviour of everyone on these roads, but of course if you try to fight being robbed by your government they will destroy every asset and right you have until you give them your tribute.
Meanwhile, almost every night, people's cars are broken into, but I guess the government doesn't give a shit because they can't make money off of criminals who have few assets and little care for the law.
There seems to be a fundamental issue where decent citizens generally have assets/money that can be stolen from them, so they are profitable for the government to target, while criminals do not, and in fact cost money to deal with through prisons and courts, so they are not profitable for the government to target.
I was dealing with junkies in my building, not a manager or strata employee but a regular Joe who had enough. Told a bunch of junkies blocking the entrance "the only drug that should be illegal on the streets is narcan, so the next time you guys code you can just get it over with".
The law and the application thereof are neither inconsistent nor arbitrary. It just seems that way. Authorities are consistently singling out Christians. The application of the law is unequal for sure. But this is not arbitrary. Could make an interesting charter argument.

Also the Indian farmers supporters and Punjabi dump truck drivers were allowed to protest.
In current Canada, the colour of your skin and your political leanings determine if the government will allow you to protest or not.
