Secondly, what is the more true and worthy cause, when considering the two groups? Systemic racism that does not exist to near the extent claimed or basic freedom to be the master of one's body?
Once again, that's not the point. Whether you or I agree with people shouldn't have any impact on whether they should be allowed to protest or not.
Proud supporter of Plan 2525. Everything you think, do and say will be in the pill you took today.

Did anybody here say the trucker protesters should be allowed to break the law? Maybe I missed it.

And if the truckers are burning down buildings or killing people, the Canadian government should disperse them, using force if necessary..
Thanks for clarifying that requirement. I’ll let the integrated task force in Ottawa know that they’ll have to hold off on actions until those requirements have been met.
In fact, I’ll get right on it.
You are, I hope, joking.

Hurry on over to Ottawa!
There's going to be a My Pillow parachute drop. You could snag one while helping to support a worthy cause!

In a free society, government is given the right to rule by the people. The people do not have freedoms because the government's gives it to them. Since government is granted the right to rule by the people, those people can take away the government's right to rule.
The process for doing so is the ballot box - as long as both sides are following the rules. But if a government is not following the rules, the people have the right to protest, and if necessary, remove the government. Laws enacted by that government that declare it illegal to do so are meaningless. When a government makes it illegal for the people to participate in their right to protest that government peacefully, it is not the people violating the law, it is the government violating the law. And if the government refuses to acknowledge the people's right to protest peacefully, demand change, etc... then the people have the right to overthrow that government, by force if necessary.
The key here is to remember just who it is that runs the show. The people run the show.

I don't understand your point George. I was comparing one set of demonstrators blocking the highways to another. That they were blocking the highway is I need to know. I don't need to have some threshold level of vandalism to also occur in order for me to come to a conclusion.
I'd have been all for removing the BLM guys from the highways even if the summer riots of 2020 had not occurred at all.
Yup.

So, what happens if the truckers unblock the streets, stop honking, get a permit, and behave within the bounds of the law?
Do you see them being approved for the permit?

More like an ideologically predisposed and emotionally charged account. In fairness however, I have copied your link to former colleagues, friends and family living in Ottawa for their impressions. I’ll have get back to you later to let you know how their first hand experience of this occupation of the last 22 days balances out with this reporter’s few hours with the mob.
In the meantime it’s good to see the police moving in, occupiers either surrendering or voluntarily dispersing and big rigs leaving. All cumulatively bringing it to a calm end.

Has there been any actual violence? I've not seen any reports. You commented on the cache of weapons that was found, but otherwise, I've seen nothing.

There have been random acts of small scale vandalism and criminal mischief as well a cases of residents being threatened and harassed. The protest has closed businesses as well as small health care services and specialized private clinics in the core.
I fully anticipate some open resistance to police to occur in the course of the day. Some protesters are hunkering down and it is not known, or least made known to the public, whether there are weapons among the remaining occupiers.

Weapons cache was not found in Ottawa. It was found here in Alberta at a protest that closed the primary border crossing for traffic into and from Montana.

Fer Gawd's sake, let us not engage in peaceful protest...

Rather disingenuous of you, Jolly, to try and draw a parallel between MLK’s civil rights rallies against racial discrimination in the 1960’s and this 22 day illegal occupation of Ottawa.
No surprise though, sympathizers of the occupation here not once seemed to be bothered by the occupiers appropriating yellow Stars of David to garner support by also inappropriately and disingenuously conflating their own alleged plight with that of European Jews who fell under the heel of the Nazi jackboot.

What does Section 8 of Canada's Charter say? Something about unreasonable search and seizure?
The Canadian government has called the Trucker's Protest domestic terrorism, and as such, has seized their bank accounts. has seized donations given to them electronically and has even seized fungible currencies, such as Bitcoin, which supposedly was immune from government meddling.
And then, donors were doxxed left and right. The jury is still out whether that information was sourced by independent hackers or Canadian government hackers.
So...How does a peaceful protest (and the protest in Ottawa has been remarkable peaceful for that many people) equate to domestic terrorism? Especially enough for Fidel Trudeau to declare an Emergency Powers Act?
Always remember, Operation Valkyrie was an act of sedition.

How about one of the largest differences between the two peaceful protests?
In MLK's case, JFK actually met and talked with King and other members of the March.
