I don’t know. We had a large, national protest with such extreme actors that some would label then terrorists, on the footsteps of our National Assembly. No shots fired, no buildings burnt down, no dead protestors or police. Face value, even an armed and militant subgroup was taken down and charged without incident.

If that shakes your faith in our institutions, I’d urge you to consider how these things okay out elsewhere in the world, and how you would like our institutions to handle these things in the future. This ‘occupation’ is still substantially shorter than Occupy, BC Forestry or Coastal Link blockades. Are you going to support the immediate and heavy handed response against all future protests the moment they interfere with infrastructure? The UCP might support you there, and that’s generally a pretty ####ty side of the fence tinge aligned with.
