I hate it that I see people actually support these damn rioters. I would've been fine with them (though I don't believe in their cause) if it was simply a protest. Occupying capital hill? Sure, that's okay. A group of natives did that a few years ago and I supported that.

But disrupting the peace, especially when all the MPs went home and was comfortably sleeping half a city away while the locals were desperately covering their ears at four in the morning? That's not protesting, that's borderline domestic terrorism.

It was an occupation, not a protest. Protests target the powerful and in charge. Occupations target the weak and vulnerable. And only one of those groups were anywhere close to the truckers past the usual 9-5.

People across the country supported the police terrorizing, physically attacking, and pointlessly arresting thousands of innocent bystanders in Toronto in June 2010. I have no love for my country or its citizens left.
