Are these people as violent as the BLM rioters? ….I'm not defending these people, simply because I'm ignorant of what they're trying to accomplish, but I think your equivalence of the two movements is a bit off-kilter.
Point taken. They are not violent, or at least up this point, not physically violent. Wanton hooliganism has not characterized the protest. Nevertheless, this mob is not exactly a few doofuses wanting to take selfies in front of the Canadian Parliament Peace Tower. On the other hand, the Ottawa Police and RCMP have deliberately not provoked them and have chosen instead to defuse potential incidents calmly and with minimal force.
It is time for these yobs to go home. They have made their voices heard. They have very certainly cowed a few Conservative Party provincial premiers into promising action to lift mandates and restrictions in the coming days and weeks. The Conservative toad running this province, already on waivers with his Party, is certainly intimidated by the protest and his macho-libertarian caucus.
Why the movement is targeting Trudeau and federal government is beyond me. The protesters have certainly done irreparable damage to the very Party that best represents their interests at the federal level in Parliament. That leads me to the conclusion that they are not at all interested in parlay or parliamentary democracy. Then to hell with them all, they really do deserve nothing from the rest of Canada.
