Accounts were not seized. People who donated over 50 were not targeted. There was no bank run. There was little blowback. Protest rights were not suspended. The emergencies act invocation was passed by parliament and always has a built in expiry.
> Accounts were not seized.
1. "Banks have started to freeze accounts linked to Ottawa protests, federal government says" CBC - Governments own funded mouth.

2. Whose bank accounts can be frozen through the Emergencies Act?

3. The bank accounts of the main organizers are still seized. Tamara Lich and Pat King are frozen as well as others.
> Protest rights were not suspended.
Yes they were! The government gave themselves the right to decide where people could protest. They also charged protestors on horses and assaulted others. And blocked off the area near parliament. Going to so far even now, as to tell people they can't fly the FCK Trudeau flag.

It needed to pass by the Senate as well, which it never did. Since it was likely to fail. He cancelled it. I personally took out a large amount of money from the bank and I know others as well.
You can protest freely. You can't break any law you choose to, call it "protest" and expect not to suffer any consequences.
Nobody was trampled by a horse.
If you're Canadian, spend less time listening to Sam Harris and more time learning about your own country. If you're not, please go back to ignoring us and everything that happens in our country, as you most likely did before.
Dictates and Edicts are for Kings. The Truckers were protesting two years of emergency measures, and the government double downed and passed more emergency measures, and ultimately used violence to quash their protest. If you think this is how democracy should function in Canada, than I think you should take your own advice and learn more about your "Country".
> You can protest freely.
I have no idea what definition of "freely" is in your head. Does not being allowed to fly a FCK Trudeau flag still constitute "freely" ? https://twitter.com/i/status/1500153323495866372
>Nobody was trampled by a horse.
This elderly woman was knocked down by a horse and was taken to the hospital due to her injuries. Now again. I'm not sure what constitutes a "trampling" in your definition of "trampling", but I think most people would be okay with calling it a trampling.

There's a very toxic current of censorship spreading which involves redefining opinions (inherently a subjective matter) as information (inherently an objective matter) in order to justify them being censored on the grounds of 'combating misinformation.' People are free to be wrong and to spread the word of their wrongness.
If you take the random words - on a subjective topic! - of a weirdo on the internet to be 'information' then you're a bloody idiot.
It's only 'misinformation' if you take the words of random people on the internet as being 'information' instead of 'opinion.'
As that's a very foolish thing to do I think it's better to call their content 'ignorance' rather than 'misinformation' as that accords it a type of status it doesn't deserve.
With that in mind, do you propose that the ignorant should be silenced?
Then lead with "Accounts were not siezed", as it's a matter of fact.
Yours is certainly a worse type of misinformation.
And appalling to see the comments below, begging for censorship.
