Canada is a rule-of-law, democratic society. The so-called protestors blocked off major ports of entry leading to material harm to businesses. They also violated the rights of individuals living within the downtown core (including my family) for weeks on end. They brought weapons with them, they built shanties and filled them with kerosene and propane.
The plurality of Canadians voted for the government and the imposition of its lawful and constitutional restrictions in re: COVID. Were they unlawful or in violation of Charter rights, they could have used the courts but elected not to. Because they are lawful and in keeping with the Charter.
Two thirds of Canadians support the use of the Emergencies Act in breakup up the unlawful protests.
As the elder Trudeau said in the October Crisis re: the use of the military (which the junior Trudeau is not planning on doing):
Yeah, well there's a lot of bleeding hearts around who just don't like to see people with helmets and guns. All I can say is, go on and bleed, but it's more important to keep law and order in this society than to be worried about weak-kneed people who don't like the looks of a soldier's helmet.
The use of Bitcoin in this manner is anti-Democratic as it seeks to overturn the lawful, constitutional decisions of the plurality - and to overturn the last election.
We have ways of sorting this out in Canada. You vote.
If you see yourself supporting these anti-Democratic viewpoints, ask yourselves: "Are we the baddies?"
[edit] Not only did I not vote for the Liberals in the last election, I'm open to re-evaluating the COVID restrictions too. But not with a boot to the neck. The unlawful protests must end. Then we can talk.
