> even if factually the Freedom Convoy was never officially classified as terrorists - in short they did [illegaly] have the Emergencies Act invoked against them which gave them perhaps the same or even more powers to be executed against peacefully protesting Canadians

Sure. They were treated like terrorists. They weren’t listed as a terrorist group.

This wouldn’t be material out in the open. But in response to an article about another entity actually being listed as a terrorist group, it’s a false equivalence. (In the way saying, in general, sugar and Splenda are basically the same thing is fine, but in response to an article about the health effects of Splenda it’s not.)
