Freedom means accepting that your morals don’t apply to the collective. The law determines what is and isn’t permitted, not morals. When you find that your morals and the law are opposed, your options are to vote at the ballot box or vote with your feet (I.e. move to another jurisdiction)

I think in many countries, we’re beyond “vote harder.”

I believe it was Thomas Jefferson that said when a law is unjust, a man is not only right to disobey it, he is obligated to do so.

You can always move elsewhere. You’re not being kept in your jurisdiction forcibly.

If you think civil disobedience is preferable to moving elsewhere, by all means, do it.

I completely agree with you. Last year however, Canadiens were not allowed to travel outside of Canada without proof of vaccination, so their movement depended on civil disobedience anyways. They were forced into their jurisdiction unless they wanted to break a law.
