Illegal protests funded by foreign money are not legitimate dissent. It is domestic terrorism.
did I now? Because the analogy is apt, the topic of the protest is irrelevant when discussing civil liberties. I'm just highlighting how one would be biased by the topic.
Evidently, you didn't study your lessons.
Mind-numbing to see your commentary aligning with FOX.
Fox News legal analyst and alleged law professor Jonathan Turley decrying the Canadian crackdown on protestors "By this rationale, they could have cracked down on the Civil Rights movement. They could have arrested Martin Luther King.". Ummm...
Today's quiz: Name 500 people who are shortly going to be chased out of Ottawa by a mob with pitchforks.
Reported hack of convoy protest crowdfund reveals nearly 500 alleged Ottawa donors

Yep... the enraged population of Ottawa are already shutting down the businesses of "Freedum Convoy" donors and running them out of town. And despite this being Canada saying "I'm sorry" is not going to help -- the residents of Ottawa knew from the very start that this was nothing more than an extremist protest. Your protests that you didn't "anticipate this" are ludicrous.
'We made a mistake': Ottawa gelato café shuts down after owner appears on leaked list of trucker protest supporters

Stella Luna Gelato Café in Ottawa was forced to close its doors this Tuesday after receiving a barrage of threats after the owner appeared on a leaked list of people who've donated to the anti-mandate trucker protest that's been gripping Canada, the Ottawa Citizen reports.
The shop's owner, Tammy Giuliani, donated $250 to the truckers on the Christian crowdfunding site GiveSendGo. After her donation was posted to Twitter, staff at her shop started receiving threats.
“We got a call from the team saying, ‘We’re getting phone calls here,'” Giuliani said. “I said, ‘What’s going on?’ and they said, ‘They’re threatening to throw bricks through our window. They’re threatening to come and get us.’ We said, ‘Lock the door and we’ll find out what’s going on.'”
That's when she ordered her shop closed.
She says she had a different impression of the trucker protest when she made the donation, but now regrets it.
“When a group of people first decided they were going to travel across the country to spread this message of solidarity, it seemed like a beacon of hope for small businesses like us,” she said. “It’s no surprise that small businesses have been on the edge. Families are at risk of losing their livelihood. I’m a sucker for a grassroots cause."
“Never in our wildest dreams did we anticipate what has transpired over the past couple of weeks,” she said. “None of us anticipated what it turned into and we certainly don’t condone it."
“In retrospect it was bad judgment, but does that mean that people have a right to threaten our staff? Does it mean people have the right to threaten to throw bricks through our window and to threaten my family? We made a mistake. Who could have anticipated it?”
