How does any of this fly in a free and Democratic country?

Maybe the government hacked it?

No the guy who hacked it has purple hair and is all over the internet proudly describing what he did and very visible and easy to find if anybody cared to look. The government freezing of assets is surreal and dystopian.

How did the PP NOT know that? What sources is he/she reading?

Uhh say what? First Amendment? Wasn't the first Amendment to Canada's Constitution the one that made Manitoba a province?

Is this guy even Canadian? Or some right wing American provocateur?

Protesting for individual liberty over the power of the state is the greatest cause that there is in 2022. May there be more like this.

But it wasn't so great in 2020.

Of course not. Take one guess as to why.

Hundreds of Canadian police swept through the country's capital Saturday, arresting protesters and clearing out vehicles in an attempt to bring an end to a three-week protest against COVID-19 restrictions.

At least 170 people were arrested Friday and Saturday, after police began the crackdown of the so-called Freedom Convoy on Friday morning. Officers, some in riot gear, approached the protest zone and scuffles broke out in some areas as police, including some officers on horses, pushed the crowd back.

Protesters were gone from the street in front of Parliament Hill by Saturday morning. Police said on Twitter that protesters were "aggressive and assaultive" throughout their attempts to clear the area, and pepper spray was used to disperse them. They also said children had been brought to the front of the police line.

Sounds like it is time for you to re-read Thoreau. Getting arrested is hardly the only form of resistance.

Thoreau was arrested for refusing to pay taxes because he opposed the Mexican War. That is what “Civil Disobedience” was written about. And who said being arrested is the “only” reason? Another dishonest bad faith straw man argument. It’s all you right-wingers ever have. Civil disobedience is intentionally breaking the law to make a statement. People who intentionally break the law to make a statement are commonly arrested because they broke the law. The smart ones want to be arrested publicly to amplify their message.

Canadian Charter of Rights doesn't have freedom to protest as Article I either. What the hell is this guy talking about? Clearly these trucker nuts are deeply indoctrinated in American right wing bullshit that doesn't even apply in Canada.

Brian Peckford, former premier of Newfoundland and one of those who helped draft Canada’s Constitution and Charter of Rights and Freedoms, is suing the federal government.

"The suit, filed last week, claims the federal government’s COVID-19 vaccine requirement for air travel is unconstitutional and infringes on all Canadians’ charter rights.

“I’m concerned as a Canadian citizen, I’m concerned as a person who was involved in crafting the charter,” said Peckford, who suggested the federal government’s use of Section One of the Constitution — which allows the government to limit charter rights in some cases — is not justified by the pandemic."

Seems to me you embrace being desensitized to police brutality. Pretty sad.

The Canadian federal government has not invoked Section 1. What *specific* language in Section 2 is the mandate in violation of?
