The Ottawa folks have now given us the clear distinction between protest and occupation. The Ottawa protesters/occupiers have forgotten that one of our founding phrases is “peace, order, and good government” and not as some of protesters/occupiers were claiming that the First Amendment guarantees my ‘free speech’. Oops folks, sorry wrong country!
The concept of ‘good government’ allows us, amongst other things, to have a Canada wide health care system. Even non-vaccers/non-maskers can use that system when they get Covid. And gosh, we’ll even contribute our money to help them in their hours of illness. We are a generous county, eh!
It seems the love of the internet intelligence/ignorance has combined with your cry of libertarian freedom to produce a philosophy of toxic individualism. People have forgotten about the idea of ‘public health/public good’. Just looking at the ages of the demonstrators, they have all been through the public school system with it’s myriad of vaccinations against communicable diseases. Perhaps they are too young to know about scourge of polio – vaccinations!
