Not sure if these are happening cross country…but it sickens me that people are protesting outside hospitals In Toronto. Some People entering hospitals are having the worst day of their lives….accidents, cancer treatments, heart attacks. Go protest at The Legislature.
We seem to have more than our share in Alberta. Some of them in our Provincial Government. Unclear to me why these protests are in front of health facilities. Could be all about their burning desire to obtain media coverage. Protesting in front on the steps of city hall or the Provincial capital would be ho hum.
BC has experienced a similar thing and they have been shamed by the population at large, politicians and government officials. Protests are now in front of provincial buildings but get minimal to zero media coverage. The media is partly to blame for this of course but we don't seem to have a lot of bright lights in that profession in recent times.
The appropriate solution would be to triage unvaccinated covid patients out of ER into the parking lots across the street.
I categorically disapprove of violent protests.
I don't think they should protest at hospitals, however I am very leery of restricting where people can protest.
Creating a free speech zone is basically saying that everywhere else that right doesn't exist, and that's a dangerous precedent.
I do and don't agree. They'll simply deny permits. I do not think that any government official should be able to decide which protests are okay and which are not.
I don't think any protestor should be permitted to obstruct the otherwise lawful actions of another person.
However they can protest wherever they want, as long as they don't obstruct others. This includes hospital access, and union strike lines.
Mostly conservatives protesting, with violent outcome.
Funny how cons were all pacifists and condemning violence during anti-fa and BLM protests. Violence is not the answer.

... the Legislature is a couple of blocks up, too far away apparently and so is TO's cityhall for these morons.
Our premier, mayor along with the chief police officer has shown no teeth with these increasing incidents. Lots of hot air blowing ... as gesture of "thanks" to front line "heroes", let along protecting them.
It's about time legislation be brought in, if not the use of facial recognition and data collection on this so-called group of Canadian Frontline Nurses? Sounds like a front of hoodlums to me.
Trudeau was preparing to sit down for an interview, but protesters blared loud music and shouted obscenities from across the parking lot.
globalnews.ca
I know it was tongue in cheek, but honestly he should praise the protesters for protesting the guilty party and not bothering health care officials.
Global news were interviewing protesters in Edmonton and asked why they are at hospital and legislature - answer: there was more of us under legislature yesterday, you just didn't cover it
If you had figured (by your definitions above) that the government of Canada is a cult headed by 1 guy (the PM), then you should be moving to your own island where there is no "corrupt" government or specific "racist" figure to "dictate" you. You have all the freedom to do whatever you want there on your own island ... and don't forget to get those hooligans to join you there too.
Trudeau says that if he is re-elected he will create legislation banning protests against hospitals and health workers, abortion clinics, and designated places.
There should be designated "speaker corners" in large parks where protestors can get a permit and gather.
Counter protests would be located in a different area. Protest organizers will be able to "book" areas of parks similar to booking for a family picnic.
It will be a new criminal offense, similar to the special protections for police officers, and officers of the courts.
As a special designation the punishments will be more severe just as assault on a police officer is more serious than common assault.

That already exists. Critical Infrastructure Defense Act.
They can't block access to hospitals and hospitals themselves.
Those who do can be and should be prosecuted
Maybe they should follow PV MX lead and designate Covid-free hospitals. CMQ Premier is where all Covid cases are sent and CMQ Bucerias takes only non-Covid cases like my wife's hip replacement operation. We could go without concerns about being exposed to Covid.
^ Who'll be paying for the 2 tier for services plus do we have the resources for that? Keep in mind the mobile MASH-like hospitals dedicated for Covid patients have been dismantled (last I read).
The reason people are organizing on social media, is because the government is refusing to enforce the law.
It actually seems possible that Trudeau is encouraging these protests and falsely claiming O'Toole is anti-vaxx to rescue the election.
False controversey is good politics when you're evil.
Yeah, if they actually enforce the law then Trudeau won't be able to lie and have introduction of existing law as his campaign policy - Canadian voters don't verify facts and he is capitalizing.
Of course while throwing healthcare workers and patients under the bus but not like he cares.
He can have it both.
Easily.
You can disagree with someone yet still respect their right to have an opinion and control over their body.
You can protect healthcare workers from harassment by enforcing existing laws
And at the same time you can protect right to peaceful protest by not breaking human rights.
Unless you believe in 'pure' ideology and that only one way is a good way to live and others aren't worth a thought, then you will be able to understand that.
There is a lot of indication that you would fit in perfectly in Germany in 1930s though so I am starting to understand why you see the world the way you do
Who are these people ? Aren't they worry about their jobs ? If you are an employer, would you hire these trouble makers ?
Blacklist them and send the list to all the hospitals in the country....
