You’re ignoring the fact that blockading border crossing points and city streets is, of and in itself, an act of violence. Particularly when it results in many losing their jobs and paychecks because supplies were blocked by the blockades.
The only reason for the support on FR is that these were anti-vaccine protests.
Weren’t the BLM protests described as ‘mostly peaceful’ too?
Blocking streets and bridges are not acts of violence.
The ONLY physical violence was perpetrated by the state.
Equating burning entire neighborhoods, rioting, and other vandalism with restricting roads is absurd and a complete non-sequitur.
The purpose of a NON-VIOLENT protest is to inconvenience those you are trying to get the attention of. Funny thing how Trudeau and those that support his side were all supportive of the farmers in India when they shut down entire highway systems for OVER A YEAR, but a couple of border crossings get shut down for a few days, and it’s the apocalypse!
Using the leftist tactic of equating words and PASSIVE RESISTANCE to violence is intellectually dishonest and borders on outright lying. You know better, or should anyway.
The “worst” thing the truckers did was blow their horns around Parliament Hill, inconveniencing a few locals.
