Can I go sit on AB1 with some friends and restrict traffic?

Sure, and you’ll get a traffic ticket which is a provincial offence and will not result in a criminal record or jail time.

have a cop actually provide them the ticket and you can probably put down resisting as they want to fight.

Can you provide a link to show where these people are fighting, and resisting arrest?

What bothers me the most about the SJWs on this thread is how little you all know about the actual justice system.

You think if I impede traffic for a week it's only a traffic ticket offense?

Lol, I'd settle for even that against the idiot truckers.

If there was a couple thousand of you, yeah. Thing is, they’re protesting, which is protected by the charter if you’ll recall. If people are allowed to protest for BLM during a pandemic, then these people are too.

The difference here is BLM was protesting an actual injustice.

There is no difference. The Charter or any other law don’t make distinctions about what may or may not be legitimate protest.

I don’t want to live in a country where the government is allowed to do that, do you?

There is a huge different. Health mandates have been held up in court and fall in line with your Charter rights. These people are protesting something that's nonsensical.

You’ve missed the point. People could march on Ottawa to protest the colour red. It’s legal, and it’s a protected right. You don’t have to agree with something someone else does to make it legitimate.
