I feel like the government really hamstrung Canadians when they

- implemented at source payroll tax deductions

- took away eligibility for employment insurance benefits in instances of dismissal from a job or quitting a job

The only effective means of protest left in Canada IMO is a general strike, and good luck getting a critical mass of workers behind that when they have never missed a meal.

I was mildly heartened when we went to Ottawa and Coutts for the trucker protests, till the NATO goons showed up and the crackdown happened. Those were the first times I’ve ever felt proud to be Canadian. Met a lot of people that weren’t going to take it.
