There's no such thing as a "right" to use trucks to set up an illegal blockade. The trucker convoys are not protesting to fairly and legitimately raise awareness about their grievances; they're trying to get the upper hand by illegal means because much of public opinion clearly opposes their stance already. It's a simple matter, really. A response is quite appropriate.
Regardless of his comments on the Floyd protests (which I do not have in front of me), the Canadian situation is comparable only to other Canadian protests. We are not America, and we are a country that has its own way of doing things.
Using the phrase "tyrannical vaccine mandates" is not a great way to ensure a productive discussion, however.

selective parochialism; you would not hesitate to criticize brutal anti-protest measures in say, russia.
>Using the phrase "tyrannical vaccine mandates" is not a great way to ensure a productive discussion, however.
why should I mince words? that is what they are. just because the canadian ruling party has groupthinked themselves otherwise, does not mean it is not tyrannical. I will criticise the regime the same as I criticise other tyrannical despotisms.
I don't think we can have a productive conversation, but I thank you for teaching me the word "parochialism" (though I disagree with your characterization).
