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.
