Keep in mind our media is propaganda. They will purposefully lie to your face to push an agenda and then not issue a retraction or bury the retraction.
A Biden Administration investigation found that the conservative media reported it correctly.
Leftist rioters had illegally breached the first fence around the White House, set a guard house on fire, screamed they were removing president Trump from office (insurrection?), injured multiple secret service members, and set a historic church on fire.
To prevent leftist insurrectionists from continuing their onslaught a firm was hired to come in and make new fencing around the White House and historic church.
The peaceful protestors around the church refused to leave so the contractor could safely install the fence. Then the tear gas was fired.
Trump did not order the fencing at that time, did not order those people removed, and did not order the tear gas. Trump walked out to the historic church after he had heard it had been secured to protect it from leftists arsonists that had previously set it ablaze.
Facts.
The mainstream propaganda media lied to you. We know it is a lie, because the government agencies involved said at the time it went down exactly as Biden's investigation discovered and most media didn't report that government agencies were saying it was nothing to do with Trump. The media only ran a retratraction long after that got no attention.
Regardless there are other ways to remove peaceful protestors than using tear gas, would you be alright with Canadien law enforcement doing the same to the truckers.
Neither any random group of truckers. Blocking major highways and paralysing two countries is not “civil”. Not everyone was a trucker going back and forth between US and Canada. A gazillion people who jumped at the opportunity to cause mayhem, took part in BLM protests as well.
FYI - BLM actually has demands: to stop police brutality (and racism) against black people.
The problem is that you (and others) view things from your perspective only. Don’t get how the word “freedom” can be manipulated and played by any random group of angry people to support their actions.
Groups who decide to “occupy” or paralyse cities (or entire countries) to force the nation to act the way they want, are unacceptable. If you also add fire arms to the mix - it becomes really dangerous.
"Stopping racism" is not a practical demand. It's a blank check to wreak havoc whenever it's to their political advantage. "Stopping police brutality" is only somewhat more practical, and all of the "solutions" that come out of the uprisings with this stated demand have only led to more crime, division, and strife.
Dropping Covid restrictions is a practical demand. You might disagree with it, but you'd do well to acknowledge it is a simple, concrete goal.

It’s an absurd demand. In order for the Federal Government/Trudeau to have the authority to drop provincial COVID restrictions, the Canadian Constitution would have to be changed.
Trudeau’s political career is toast now. I know nothing about Canadian politics, but I hope they have someone else lined up for whenever the elections are.

It will be interesting to see if more politicians become more authoritarian or backdown.

1, The Canadian truckers aren't committing insurrection and arson. Leftists had just committed insurrection and arson. They had to get the fencing up to protect a historical church that leftists had set on fire. They had to get fencing up to prevent insurrectionists from assaulting secret service and setting White House guard houses on fire again.
Leftists on this message board laughed at the insurrection and called Trump bunker boy after leftists assaulted secret service and committed arson outside the White House. Wonder who those posters on here were.
Insurrection is a big deal. Those protestors were repeatedly warned. Perhaps the government could have found a better way just like right now the government is cracking down hard on nonviolent protestors for January 6.
2, It is wrong for that poster to blame the tear gas on Trump. In fact, even ABC now admits per my link that they Biden Administration investigation found that they were told NOT to use tear gas.

Are there not federal restrictions (or at least, an explicit threat of federal restrictions) as well? Yes or no?
And have (some) provincial leaders begun to back away from restrictions since the protests began? Yes or no?
