Woman trampled by Trudeau's forces during freedom protest identified as Indigenous elder

Sero reportedly suffered a broken clavicle from the trampling.

The elderly woman who was reportedly injured when police on horseback rode through a crowd of Freedom Convoy protesters Friday evening has been identified as Candice "Candy" Sero. She is reportedly a full-blood Mohawk woman who lives in Tyendinaga Mohawk Territory in Hastings County, Ontario.

The situation seems to have gone beyond the anti vax and mandates issues, which should have never been enacted.
If only your read or watch the research, but now it turned into the Canadians right to protest . According to their Charter of Freedoms . A real life test of Canada’s civil rights .. imho.

The question is, as always, about boundaries: while protests against various gov policies should always be possible, the level of tolerated disruption in public space should be defined - so ambulances and fire brigades can always reach emergencies, trash can be removed, infrastructure can be maintained, public and private properties are not destroyed, etc.

I hold this view about both protests with which I agree and disagree.

Mags makes a very good point above about protests not interfering with normal services .
although the truckers being essential workers and their area of work is on the roads . It might be their best means of protest . Although inhibiting essential services might be a BIG thing to consider , given the side effects of any protest.! !! 8O

One of my right leaning friends thinks that Covid restrictions are being lifted because of the trucker protest. Umm, no. They were already scheduled to be relaxed and governments around the world are doing so now that the pandemic has reached a far less lethal stage and tons of people have been vaccinated. Crazy to believe that a few dozen mentally ill people honking horns forced governments around the world to alter public health policies.

Many of these people have been pushed over the edge.
Their entire livelihood has been destroyed.
The same happened over here.

Draconian and irrational edicts by soulless and unaffected government protagonists tend to piss people off.
Mandates are a nonsense that most of the world is in the process of rejecting because the only people who are really affected are those who choose not to take the vaccination.

*New* research suggests that the infection transmission rates are barely any different between the vaccinated and the unvaccinated.
"Trust the science", even the unpoliticised science one doesn't like. :mrgreen: :wink:

Also, there are trouble makers in every group, but this protest has been overwhelmingly peaceful, unlike the BLM riots. ;)
