You could almost respect the honesty if the government and media simply stated “officially approved protests can cause all the violence and destruction they want”. They treated the truckers like they had been murdering people across the country and Jan 6 was treated like the worst thing in the history of the universe. I hear the Babbit family is suing. Hope they get a massive settlement.
I guess we will always have the “fiery bust mostly peaceful” footage to show how scummy the media is
I'm a big convoy supporter, but I believe the "special rights for natives" bit written into the Emergencies Act was fake news.
IIRC, the wording mentioning natives specifically had to do with treaty rights of some natives to cross the US- Canada border without a passport.
While the main battleground was on Parliament Hill and while Trudeau lied about its scope, the legislation as written applied martial law to the entire country.

They did.
In the Emergency Act, Trudeau and the Liberals outlined which protests were acceptable (indigenous) and which were not (White).
That's why he met with literal terrorists who bombed train tracks while protesting an oil pipeline mere months before freezing bank accounts.
Didn’t know that but can’t say I’m surprised
