I’m not in Ottowa and I feel like I’m not sure what to believe here.
On one hand, if the protests really were peaceful, I do not believe the government should shut them down.
On the other hand, I’ve heard the protests have caused millions in trade to be shut down which I would not consider a peaceful act. If some non-citizen entity shut down millions in trade, I don’t think it would be viewed as peaceful.
Should the right to peaceful protest include the right to halt trade at this scale? Are the reports of halted trade overblown?
