Freezing bank accounts of protesters

You think Trudeau's temporary action against people who were blockading Ottawa causing untold financial damage to the capital is comparable to Putin jailing a 15 year old for saying some words?

causing untold financial damage

Should we have frozen the bank accounts of those participating in 2020 BLM riots too? They caused billions in damages too...

Sure.

Now run off with your whataboutism. Grown ups are talking.

With what goal?

The aim of freezing the accounts around the Convoy protests was to the end the ongoing focused disruption of Ottawa and border crossings. Non violent answer to (mostly) non violent protests.

They were unfrozen after the blockades dissolved.

In the BLM riots, or any riot I guess, I don't think anyone would propose such soft/slow measures, especially in the USA. Do you think that would have been a good idea or are you just chirping?

Locking the bank accounts of peaceful protesters and anyone who donates to them is fascism.

“Untold financial damage” oh suddenly money is important

So....no? Not comparable?

Yeah I didn't think so.

Not a protest, an occupation. Get it right. You can also blame the police for their inaction/complicity, and dumbfuck Doug Ford for hiding for the entire duration of the occupation

You can’t occupy public space in your own country. This is a protest. Let me guess, you cheered when BLM protesters got beat up too?

Blocking roads, harassing the citizens of Ottawa going about their day, pissing on war memorials, honking day and night....yes sounds peaceful to me. You're delusional

Instead of responding to your point, allow me to appeal to your emotions.

Ok, guy. We're all convinced.
