Remember, we exist in a social contract to live in a functioning society, even during the hard times when we have to pull through together as a community. And privilege is confusing inconvenience for tyranny.

I mean that is really... false. Were you forced to close your business because the government deemed it non essential? I'm guessing not. Were you not allowed to attend your own mothers funeral because your family exceeded 10 people? Likely no. Could you not go see your daughter who lives in Montana for a 1 1/2 years because the border was closed? I mean the list goes on and on, and going beyond Alberta. Being told you could not have guests to your home, police raiding homes in Montreal because their Christmas gathering was "too many people". What else would you have willingly given up?
