They're protesting rules to reduce pollution near protected habitats. It has nothing to do with covid or whatever Canadian truckers are protesting.

They're also being violent shitheads and drove tractors into police vehicles.

unelected bureaucratic control over their rights

Is a lie. It was voted on by our government, who were, you know, elected. Which is how democracies work.

Okay authoritarian.

Yes, authoritarian is when the democratically elected government does something. Maybe next time at least do proper research on a topic instead of just throwing out bullshit about unelected bureaucrats because it's a fun buzzword to say to rile up dumbfucks who have 5 second attention spans.

Yes, democracy is corruption, sure. If they are that concerned with their elected officials being corrupt then they are free to vote them out of office. That's how democracy works. What they are not free to do is dump manure on the freeway or try to run over police in tractors.

That's how democracy works.

Except when it's rigged like ALL other establishment systems.
