Generally, yes, in a debate: look at the argument, not the author. But when it comes to protests, the intent behind them can corrupt the message, IMHO. The message can become a cover for an agenda that is about something else entirely, and it would be foolish not to look and understand what that agenda is. With the trucker's protest, the intent seemed to be to spread disruption more than to get a message heard. That's just how it's played out to my distant eyes.
Ding ding ding. A bunch of garbage people are taking advantage of mentally ill people with this whole convoy nonsense to gain support for their far right fringe lunatic nonsense.
I told y'all that many pages ago.

The basis of the protest is freedom of choice.
I can see how *you* would see this as garbage from "a bunch of garbage people".

These geniuses are protesting having to be vaccinated to cross the US border. That’s not a Canadian law. It’s an American law. Honking horns in Ottawa isn’t going to do jack s**t about a law set by the Biden administration in the USA.

"Unvaccinated travellers will continue to be required to test on arrival to Canada, on Day 8 and quarantine for 14 days. Unvaccinated foreign nationals will not be permitted to enter Canada unless they meet one of the few exemptions."
Unvaccinated travellers still need to quarantine for 14 days, so yes -- the truckers still face challenges.

^ That's the new rules which haven't even come into effect yet.
And according to that quote, unvaxxed American truckers can't enter at all.

Canadians are withdrawing money from banks as the government threatens to freeze accounts without the need for a court order
Detainees will become members of a "misconduct" file where they will be banned from accessing certain types of employment, plus will be named as terrorists
Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies might be an effective mechanism to overcome unreasonable government actions
