Very easy to dismiss the negative effects of the protest from afar. It's been much more than "an annoyance".
And you have leaders of this movement talking about strong arming Trudeau into resignation and assuming power. Sounds like a necessary situation to invoke the act to me.
In the context of this day and age, this is a significant impedance to the order of things and certainly has broken a variety laws along the way, even if a portion of the crowd is peaceful. Peaceful hasn't equated with lawful.

The protests themselves are far less interesting than the dynamic of the response. They could be arguing about declaring the color green the national color.
The interesting piece of the response is the policies which did not exhaust the existing laws. As with Trudeau's rhetoric around the protest themselves, he immediately dialed it up to 11.
