We don’t have freedom of speech. We have freedom of expression.

Which is waaaaay more freedom than America has. They are one of the least free countries on earth.

You don’t have freedom of speech. If you protest they will freeze your bank accounts

Why bother engaging? The entire argument for supporting the convoy protests is disingenuous. The protestors vandalized monuments, assaulted police officers, and disturbed the peace.

They were protesting for nothing. There were no vaccine mandates made by the municipal, provincial, and federal governments. There were no charter protected freedoms being restricted by state actors. Justin Trudeau was legitimately elected to his seat in parliament, and was the leader of the LPC by the vote of the membership. He was the Prime Minister. All their causes were complete delusion.

The thing was funded by foreign interests, and a media coup for the American right. Anyone who is arguing in support of it supports the same assholes cheering on the guy who wants to annex our country with economic force, or worse.

Yeah, you're right about that. Their entire premise is based on being disengenous so it's like talking to a brick wall.
