Perhaps not active participants. But tacitly encouraging.
If it were native groups (for example), they would have brought out the tear gas and dogs by now.
I hope I'm wrong. But I sort of doubt it.

It is the very definition of "systemic". Different responses to similar actions depending on the cause, race, ideology, etc. The bias is baked into the system, and those that benefit from it are the loudest when another segment of the population does anything even slightly similar.
Imagine anyone other than angry white-wingers doing anything remotely close to what we saw in Ottawa, Coutts, every weekend in the Beltline during Covid, etc. The response would be swifter, more forceful, and more applauded.
