The Ontario government is considering new laws that would give police greater powers to break up protests, issue fines, demand identification, and potentially arrest people who refuse to identify themselves.

If you are against this, AND YOU SHOULD BE, you have 2 days left to comment.

While I agree with you, Canada's history isn't exactly full of times that modern Canadians rebelled against injustice by their government (except for the indigenous people) and extracted wins.

It was more often than not a peaceful protest, the government cracked down hard, and that's about it.
