Civil movement leaders are going to spend time in prison. They knew this when they got involved in this.

Naturally right-wing celebrities opposed the emergency act's misuse. It's important to note that left-wing entities like the NYTimes may ideologically oppose the goals of the freedom protest, but they were consistent in their support of allowing the protest to continue.

Protests are a necessary form of expression in a democratic society, particularly for those whose opinions do not command broad popular support. Governments have a responsibility to prevent violence by protesters, but they must be willing to accept some degree of disruption by those seeking to be heard. Entertaining the use of force to disperse or contain legal protests is wrong.

What Trudeau did was tyrannical and by NYTimes own words they say he was wrong. I applaud the NYtimes for being consistent here.

Flipside, what was proven to the right wing by what Trudeau did? We do not have the charter right to peaceful protest.

They will crush a peaceful protest and charge you with vague and petty crimes like 'mischief' to remove you from society.

Now that we know right-wing peaceful protest is illegal. It means we must resort to other options.
