Whilst it's true there was significant disruption isn't that the aim of a protest, it would be pretty toothless otherwise. However disruption does not equate to violence or it being illegal and certainly did not warrant the use of a totally egregious emergency powers act, which is pure comedy to see a 'liberal' leader pull out the totalitarian truncheon. With merely the stroke of a pen he was able to take away peoples civil liberties, arrest them and cut them off from their finances before the ink had even dried. No veto and no courts. How anyone can deem that response acceptable in a democratic society, my word. It's alarmingly eye opening.
We should be outraged by Trudeau’s efforts to shut down the Canadian trucker protests
I disagree with everything they stand for, but I also believe in the right to protest disruptively in a democratic society
The impetus for all of these was, of course, that the protests were “disruptive” — the same logic now being used by Trudeau. But protests are meant to be disruptive! Civil disobedience is, after all, a hallmark of nonviolent protests.
Similarly, the Black Lives Matter protests of the past few years have frequently closed freeways and occupied the streets.
Many of us on the left rightly cheered these actions on as loudly and resoundingly as we condemned both Tom Cotton’s op-ed and Trump’s use of state violence against peaceful protestors. Protests are a democratic right, we pointed out, while the actions of the Republicans were the hallmarks of an authoritarian regime — not of a democratic society.
The invocation of the Emergencies Act paves the way for such a gross violation of civil liberties. Trudeau may think he can get away with it because these protests are so unpopular; nearly three-quarters of Canadians want the convoy protests to cease. But the mark of a democratic society is not how it responds to popular views. It is how it tolerates unpopular and dissenting views. And right now, Canada is not meeting its mark.'
His response to this has been nothing short of authoritarian and the manner in which he's orchestrated the Canadian COVID responses echoes similar sentiments. And yes he did vilify the anti-vax and the unvaccinated, repeatedly. It's one thing to bring in laws/measures to require vaccination it's another to publicly criticise, dismiss, shame and ostracise those who don't agree thus creating a divide.

Jake Tapper of CNN was on Colbert this week and he touched on the graphic element - he feels they have to be too sanitized in how they cover events. Feels it needs to be more graphic (within reason, obviously) to upset people and light a fire under others to do something. Even just that there's too much feed of officers milling around vs ambulances rushing away or body bags coming out
