Ohhhhh, but then when I actually look at the Charter of Rights and Freedoms I see that 2(b) is not protected if the method of expression includes violence, or the threat of violence. So really, burning down parliament, or torturing people for weeks by depriving them of sleep both aren't protected under 2(b) at all.. Plus all this defining what a "protest" is, is entirely useless because no one in Canada has the "right to protest" they have the right to express themselves non-violently 2(b) and peacefully assemble 2(c).

So sure, we can call the Convoy a "Protest" all day long, but regardless of what it is called, it was not a protected right once it started harming others (Ottawa) or threatening to harm others (Coutts). Peace Bridge looks good though, no different from when ER blocks bridges - except the police actually deal with them.

What harming others are we talking about in Ottawa? Is this still about horns honking?
