It's also dark that people respond to being governed by someone they didn't vote for by blockading their country's economy. And that this action is funded by people in other countries who never had a vote in the first place.

https://nymag.com/strategist/article/where-to-donate-for-bla... interesting how the media will lavishly solicit donations for divide and rule activities but not report or comment on any actions versus those in actual power

I guess that's what counts as hacktivism these days. Doxxing working class people and their supporters. It's nice to see the left and right's true colors here and how easily they pulled back the veil of opposition to reveal their true contempt for the lower classes and the real class war underpinning everything. These last two years, I have seen so much scary authoritarianism from well-meaning people using their own…

Isn’t this freedom? The right to donate and the right to know who did? Aren’t these donations considered speech (US centric)?

Or it only distasteful when your speech and opinion is public? I support very robust free speech perspectives and freedom of speech rights, but there are also consequences for our speech (and the protections, in the US at least, are from your government only).

For all you know, this was $state_actor_invested_in_western_chaos, so don't be ridiculous. How you derive the "true colors" of "the left and right" from the fact that someone decided this is an exploit worth investing in, seems to be beyond my understanding?

edit: fascinating, this comment received positive votes and then went straight to -3 within seconds.

Notorious? And the best source for this is a 52-year-old article from a student newspaper in the US, with no listed author or sourcing? The linked article also reveals that the separatists in question were kidnapping multiple people at the time. This seems like ample reason to arrest a bunch of them.

The word "notorious" is appropriate for those who think Pierre Trudeau's invocation of the War Measures Act was wrong. And that is a widespread (but far from universal) opinion among Canadians. Note that one reason for invoking the War Measures Act was that it allowed for the arrest of people for whom there was no good evidence of criminal conduct.

The police handled these protesters with kid gloves compared to how they treat pipeline protesters, all under Trudeau junior.

So far and only because they didn't have strategies in place to deal with events, which they will ultimately frame as a 'insurrection', make examples of people, shame and doxx them as a dark warning to others to to try this in future
