Google Maps showing just an "yellow" patch near the Petro Canada right now, whereas yesterday westbound traffic was backed up "red" to Range Road 40 for much of the day.
If there was a traffic injury or worse to a "regular" person minding their own business that was linked to a blockade like this, I am curious about the legal implications to the organizers and participants.
While I don't envy a hyper-litigious society like the United States, I would be curious about what precedents already exist in Canada, or would result, from a hypothetical scenario like that.
Personally, I would hope that they would get sued into oblivion. Of course, multiple legal defence grifts by the usual suspects would result, because grifters gonna grift.
