And of all these things mentioned, you focus on the passport office blurb? That's one of the expected ones. Who's complaining about it?

Also not sure what freedumb convoys have anything to do with a strike? why are even bringing up that type of whataboutism outside of some type of partisan jab...to who exactly? Andrew Coyne was very outspoken against the convoy. Yoho? He didn't even say anything.

You can be totally against the freedumb fighters while also condemning current picketing actions that go beyond a picket line you know?

It's simply an extremely poor strategy to piss off the public beyond government services because for the most part the majority of people support the strike action.
Well actually I addressed those in the sentence before you bolded..

I can guarantee you that the picket lines won't be set up 24/7 and that all of these blockages are temporary, and will just result in delays at the border, not full stoppages
As for "no one is comparing to the convoy"...

Someone get on the phone with Freeland ASAP so that the bank accounts of the striking workers and union can be frozen.

Agreed, the difference will be how the media covers the story.
