OMG!!! What's with these protestors!!!
Hundreds of people were marching on the street yesterday and tons of cars were honking horns in North York Toronto.
They came back again today, circling the road and have been honking horns for 2 hours straight now.
The police is there but does nothing.
I find it hard to sympathize these people.
They have the right to protest but what about my rights to live?
Seriously if they are so worried they should fly back and join the protest there.

I think that there is starting to be a bit too much of a trend toward protesters being disruptive to people who are not against them.
When it comes to protests in Canada about issues from outside of Canada, they should be seeking to educate people about the issue, show their support for their cause, but not act in a way that implies they are trying to punish us. Honking and blocking our roads is not winning people support.

Sadly the government actually listens to the crowds when they do this protests.
Im with you, i can't stand those protests. Why should i be the one affected by the protest when i have nothing to do with it.

To be fair, they did have a permit to protest at Queen's Park today, as odd as that sounds. So, in a sense, they had a right to be protesting today at that location, AFAIK.

It's Tianamen Square, 20 years later. :O
Edit: It's too bad the video was removed.

That's the whole point of protests, to get something done about it... It may be inconvenient to you now, but remember you have the right to do it too if something affects you personally. As long as its not an everyday occurrence, just learn to tolerate it once in a while.

How many are willing to sit down in a seminar to hear what this issue is all about?
No takers?
I thought so.
They have every right to protest as long as it's not violent like the protests they're protesting about. Let it be.

Do hyphenated Canadians have some right that non hyphenated Canadians do not have?
