When this protest started, people were complaining that the government was approaching the protest with relative tolerance compared to things like pipeline protests.<p>Well, now protestors are being arrested and their accounts being frozen. They're no longer being treated nicely compared to environmental protestors.<p>While I don't agree with their stance, I do think that "we should not have a vaccine mandate" is a valid political opinion, and I support people being able to protest in support of their opinion.<p>Yes, it's legal to freeze the funds. The list of net-negative-for-society things perpetrated that have been legal in the jurisdictions in which they occurred is long.<p>I would rather these protestors, environmental/pipeline protestors, and generally all other protestors be treated gently rather than quashing protest.<p>Canada's laws protecting protestors are much more limited than those in the USA. If the Canadians have decided that this is how they would like their country to operate, that is their right, but I would hope that this sort of thing never happens in the US regardless of the cause.
