And have they exhibited the same sort of relative restraint that the vast majority of BLM protests have, even in the behavioral sink that is the USA? Were they protesting for something that they’ve been trying to get for centuries and still haven’t gotten or are they just trying to beat up the public health of Canada for its milk money and hoping they don’t get sick in the process? And are they at least likely to follow the same protocols that they asked the BLM protesters to follow or (as I’m starting to suspect) are their goals diametrically opposed to such things?
Doesn't matter what they are against and if they are as pure in their goals as BLM is to you. They should be allowed to assemble and protest. They are anti-lockdown and anti-maskers. You give up the moral high ground when you try to prevent these people from assembling to protest outdoors though. You don't prove the people protesting that the government is taking away people's rights wrong by taking away their rights. Duh. Corona is much harder to spread outdoors as well. And even if some people did get Corona at some of those rallies, I highly value the right to assemble and would be willing to accept that.
