It is called coercion which is a form of force.

Are those acts defined as terrorism in that jurisdiction?
Does it matter? I’d assume the penalty for funding felony arson and murder aren’t that different from funding terrorism.
Bill C-51 was written to enable the government to silence dissent. That's a right we all need. But it was passed at the height of the Idle No More protests, which many of the truckers out there would be vehemently opposed to. Politicians gain power when they can use fear and hate to fuel divisions and justify the erosion of our rights.

Just to be clear, the government of Canada doesn't mandate vaccination of truckers, what it mandates is for non-vaccinated individuals (which includes truckers) that are entering Canada through the border that they must get tested and quarantine on entry. So if you can't prove vaccination on entry, you need to have a proof of negative test and quarantine a few days. I just want to point that out, because it seems the…
That requirement is equivalent to barring them from their profession. It's also an absurd requirement for someone who spends the majority of their working time alone. If it's such a sensible requirement then why aren't we mandating that all grocery store workers be vaccinated or be required to self-isolate for 2 weeks after each shift? Why not mandate it for all professions that involve face to face contact?
People whose job requires international travel have always been expected to keep up to date regulations. Truckers were just an exception.

The requirement was not dropped, I'm surprised Reuters hasn't corrected that article. https://nationalpost.com/news/politics/in-for-a-rough-winter... https://www.bing.com/search?q=canada+trucker+vaccine+require...
So according to these sources, Canadian truckers don't have to be vaccinated. They just have to quarantine if they have symptomatic COVID. The first link says "On Wednesday evening, a Canadian Border Services Agency spokesperson said truckers would remain exempt from vaccination, testing and quarantine rules — a reversal from what the government had said publicly just hours before." My top hit on the search is a prim…
They are protesting US policy in Ottawa because this is really auxillary to the political goals of the organizers.

I'm concerned about 1st amendment and the soft power politicians have on freedom of speech (yes I know this is in Canada). When the head politician of a country essentially calls your group terrorist, wouldn't that put some pressure on social media or other organizations to restrict access, money or censor speech? Not all violations of free speech are literally police sending someone to jail for saying something. If…
Remember when Trump called antifa a terrorist org? I hope we've learned by now to stop taking the "terrorist" label seriously

They want to create a governing committee that is above the power of the government... that's pretty far from "demanding public written concession" That's creating an alternative government
Nobody said anything about above the government.. If my city sets up a school board, that isn't a replacement government or above the power of the government. Governments delegate power to panels and empowers them to make decisions on their behalf every day. Asking a government to set up a group to make decisions is not Revolution

Not only do they want full control of all levels of government, but they also want to be able to tell all private companies that they need to rehire people fired

The vaccine isn’t being forced on anyone. Body autonomy is no more being violated here than any other time in history where vaccines have been required to do certain things, of which there are many examples. Not to mention, all the things you listed at the start of your comment have been done by the Ottawa occupiers. I don’t like to call them truckers because most are not, and most truckers are against this occupatio…
It is being forced. If you can experience significant losses or risks unless you comply, that’s being forced. You’re being disingenuous. It’s easy to see where this breaks down - per your logic a mobster running a protection racket isn’t forcing anyone to pay extortion money either.
Also keep in mind that in the backdrop of all this is the fact that our Prime Minister has called the protesters racists and misogynists. Probably inspiring someone who ran over some protesters in Winnipeg. Canadian news and politicians are desperately trying to denounce the protesters while ignoring the fact that Canada has some of the harshest Covid restrictions in the world at the moment, while the US has hardly a…
> protesters racists and misogynists That's probably because of the Nazi and Confederate flags people are waving. In my opinion, they should cry it out or quit given Canada's 1 dose vaccination rate is in the 80% range.
Screams of an orchestrated heuristic.
If you’re aware of such a fringe factoid as flags appearing in the crowd but simultaneously unaware of the footage demonstrating these to be literally false flags you may want to diversify your information sources.

The SCGGC is the currently existing and only government of Canada. CU (the protesters) are asking it to use its powers to do something.
In your quote, they are asking the SCGGC to use its power to stop and reverse all SARS-CoV-2 firings.
They are also asking to SCGGC to agree to set up a committee (CCC) with no powers that will be used to share schedules for the covid policy reversal and issue joint statements about the mandates lifting
