Here's a good thread highlighting how relatively nice this police operation was.
The police operation was largely controlled, and as he stated in that twitter thread the crowd was relatively unaggressive during the operation also.
What's also interesting about these protests is the response by the Trudeau government. In 2020 there were nationwide BC Gaslink pipeline protests and blockades that had trucks, cars, people all across the country blocking railways, highways, and border crossings into the US etc. Thousands of Via Rail employees were laid off because of the illegal blockades. This lasted for over 2 months, the timeline can be seen here:
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Timeline_of_the_2020_Canadian_pipeline_and_railway_protestsTrudeau never enacted the Emergencies Act in 2020 despite the blockages/protests lasting much longer than the convoy, and Trudeau himself and other members of his gov sat down with protest leaders to negotiate an agreement. As far as I know, not once did Trudeau or any members of his party even attempt to extend an olive branch to the convoy or contact them to discuss anything. The Trudeau gov even stated in the Emergencies Act Regulations they recently posted that indigenous people and refugees were not bound by the Emergencies Act restrictions. This is what a racist government does.
