Also this survey is flawed:
> This web survey was conducted from February 4 to February 6, 2022, with 1,546 Canadians and 1,005 Americans, 18 years of age or older, randomly recruited from LEO’s online panel.
Why are the opinions of Americans used to represent Canadian support?
How much would the support change after they know of the actions taken after Feb 6 like the border and airport blockades?
Or the convoy protestors honking _all_ night the first week of the protest. Imagine a resident with a newborn or baby downtown.
Believe it or not, I actually support people's right to choose, with certain conditions/exceptions. However, their actions are out of line and out of hand now.
Activists take that discomfort w/ the status quo & advocate for concrete policy changes. Popular support often starts small & grows.
To folks who complain protest demands make others uncomfortable... that’s the point.”
Blocking an international bridge and disrupting the economy, is that just "making someone uncomfortable"?
There was a satirical article talking about how the government wants protesters to stop shutting down the city, so the government can shut down the city. There are lots of potentially legitimate criticisms of how the protestors are choosing to demonstrate (though personally I think they've been very effective). "Disrupting the economy" is a ridiculous criticism in light of the fact that the government is doing exactly that.
