I'm not a big fan of the end goals of the convoy, but that's a protest. And yeah, civil disobedience and non-violent protest is frustrating, inconvenient and angering for other people...that's the entire point.

Are you doing something illegal in the act of your protest? That's an illegal protest. There were no shortage of illegal acts taking place in Ottawa and at our borders. They were given plenty of leeway. So much so that the police backed themselves into a corner they couldn't get out of.
