You are confusing the right to protest, which so far I have not heard anyone disagree with, and attempts to extort the people and government of Canada.
Petitioning your government is not extortion anymore than striking workers demanding a pay increase or safe working conditions, etc.

Everyone has a right to protest, but its a democracy.
If you protest and everybody is against you all you do is make even more people against your cause.

Its not that they are doing it, its how they are doing it. In this case preventing citizens from going about their lawful businesses, breaking noise ordinances, repeated harassment of innocents is not protest.

Remember strikes happen on private property, only impede access to said property, and they can't outright stop traffic in and out, just slow it. So the protesters have well beyond legal limits.

Your words speak for yourself.

So you support the protesters for making things worse?

You've admitted that things were bad and are now getting worse. Do you support this action or not? It's absolutely one or the other.
I can think in more than absolutes. You not being able is your problem.

Great eh, look at all the stores closed. The protestors have basically accomplished the severe business lockdown the government never actually brought down on the community..
How many businesses went out of business from the severe lockdowns implemented by the government?

Do you or do you not support the "truckers". Is it ok that they are hurting businesses and individuals financially or not? It's a very simple question.

But if you don't like absolutes, let's hear your nuanced interpretation of the financial impact? Or are you not capable of articulating your opinion?

I'm not capable of conversation with people that have proved over and over they can't have conversation without being insulting or condescending because it typically means a lack of intelligence.

Have yourself a great day.
