I find it really odd that any western government would do this.
How are Canadians so divided that they could allow their fellow citizens to have their assets frozen for merely having different beliefs on a political matter?
It’s every Canadian who just surrendered their right to protest freely. Can anyone steelman the other side of this argument for me? I don’t get it from here.
Covid petrified many; there were great numbers utterly convinced that those not taking the Vax were selfish and putting others' lives in danger. (the same people were also likely to overestimate mortality by at least an order of magnitude). Shamefully, the government also falsely portrayed the protestors as racists and white supremacists - so making it a political issue where many saw the protestors as dispicable individuals who didn't deserve fundamental rights. Of course, whenever such things happens, people never conceive that the powers they give to government might one day be used against them, too.
