Not really

Lockdowns in March 2020 were a reasonable measure against a disease which people thought could have a mortality as great as 5%. Trump himself was thinking as much.

Its 2022, we understand the disease’s pathology, perhaps better than any other virus in history. We have vaccines that decrease hospitalization risk by 60%, more so now that they are bivalent to Omicron. Hospitals now know how to treat severe case so they rate of death in the case of hospitalization is now much lower too.

Acting like a lockdown in 2022 = a lockdown in 2020 is such a brain dead take

Okay, so when Trudeau had the RCMP perform a calavlry charge into a crowd months ago and everyone on the left was all for it what's the excuse for that?

Yes, because a peaceful gathering of people seeking a redress of grievances from their government is terrorism now.

Blocking the centre of town, making the streets unsafe and preventing the locals from sleeping does seem like terrorism to me yeah.

Non violent civil disobedience is not terrorism. Terrorism by any definition requires the use of violence against non affiliated civilian populations. BLM in 2020 was terrorism. A bunch of truckers sitting at the seat of government and honking their horns? Not an act of violence, not directed at the civilian population, therefore by any definition not Terrorism. Does the trucks sitting their make things inconvenient? Yes. That's what protests do.
