These are indeed peaceful protests. Not a burning car, dumpster, or telephone pole in sight.
What is the government's reasoning for trying to stop peaceful protests?

What was an old woman with a walker doing in the middle of all that chaos?
With all those police, all in swat gear. All those people, an old woman WITH A WALKER decided it was a good idea to be RIGHT IN THE MIDDLE. Hmmmmm?
Since it's Canada, she might have been under the assumption that the Police weren't there to start violence.
JUSTIN Trudeau has shown his true identity this month. It's been obvious for awhile that he's mentally unstable. (How many of you have worn "blackface" in order to have a good time?)edit on Sat Feb 19 2022 by DontTreadOnMe because: Reaffirming Our Desire For Productive Political Debate (REVISED)

The last riot in Buffalo was in 1967. That man was doing no more than that lady yesterday. There was no riot that night. It was 8pm, daylight and no violence. They wanted people to disperse, just like yesterday.
This is why we can never move forward with things. Violence against innocent protesters is wrong. It is not a partisan issue. The whole weight of protesters everywhere against this would be much more substantial.
Instead you want to pick and choose who should be attacked by police. Whatever, I've tried to get people to understand its a huge issue for anyone who wants to have their right to protest.
So much for trying to support your cause and finding common ground. You want to support the cops with attacking other peaceful protesters? Then accept it for all.

Politics/agenda.. I guess, sad state of affairs. The govt does not have the balls to have honest discussion. I can't say I'm surprised, they would bring out the goonsquad at some point. The irony is Trudeau railed against Harper for doing the same.

So is this the end of the "resistance"? The transportation industry and thousands of citizens protested the heavy-handedness of the Canadian government. The government shut down the protests. No major concessions granted.
Canadian History books won't devote more than a paragraph to this "uprising", if it ends here, will they?

Interesting take on the Otowa arrest, according to this guy its all smoke and mirrors, they cant arrest a peaceful protester in a public place, a judge would dismiss the charges out of hand.www.bitchute.com...

My friend watched her being carried away. She was completely limp.
Sick MFers.
That gets my blood boiling.
They've been charging through with horses just for the heck of it and if you don't get out of the way, too bad, tough luck, you're injured or dead.
We're nothing more than "unacceptables" that need to be dealt with.
The ONLY injuries at this protest so far, were caused by the police.

As videos surface,more and more are calling for violence that are not apart of the convoy
i fear it could easily spiral out of control.
To those people i call for patience, the people have already won
let those on the front line doing the sacrificing make these decisions.
As more peaceful protesters are pushed out,twice as many show up in their place
it would be a disservice to all our efforts to behave otherwise.
Canada is the front lines for American freedom
What happens here will almost certainly be exacted in the USA
We are second in the western world in gun ownership
We are a peaceful people, we will exhaust every opportunity for a non-violent resolution
but we have the capability (if necessary) to defend ourselves
that time is not now.

Violence didnt win anything for the civil rights movement, it was peaceful protest that eventually turned all but the most hardcore people to their side.
Right now peaceful protest is what will finish turning the rest of canada (except for the most hard core authoritarians) to their side, it will just be a rougher rode while Castro jr leadership goes through its final desperate grasps to hang onto power.
