A commonly asked question is why protesters are “allowed” to mask up at demonstrations. Simply put, no law prohibits concealing one’s identity in public unless participating in an “unlawful assembly” or committing a separate offence. (With respect to protesters who mask up while casually engaging in assault, intimidation, mischief,...

When you're a paid performance-based group, masking is part of the job. Those afraid of doxing lack confidence in their convictions or are paid performers hiding their faces. Some wear masks because they're on bail, exposing police leniency on crime. Is @SeeTorontoNow paying you for your work showcasing multiculturalism in Toronto? How is this not a perfect ad to attract pro-Hamas radicals to visit Toronto? @TorontoPolice @TPAca @TPSMyronDemkiw @TPACampbell

@TorontoPolice show time and time again that Islamist extremists are a protected class above regular citizens. They are exempt from a multitude of laws and enforcement

I made a comment about this yesterday on one of your posts. Thank you for the clarity. If they don’t have a permit, aren’t most of these “protests” technically unlawful? (I retract) 🙃

This is the guy that assaulted us. The police that saw said he couldn’t do anything. That is our new way of doing things. Our law seems to me merely a suggestion.

It's sort of like putting on a sheet as a kid and thinking you're a super scary ghost.

So we’re all good then for the KKK, complete with hoods and sheets blocking infrastructure intimidating passersby’s and spewing hate at specific groups of people. So what’s the difference then between them and the Ham@s supporters? Ok, got it.

No good reason* Canadian police forces haven’t dealt with this except that they don’t want to. Every single one of these events, was an opportunity to round up every non-citizen and deport them. Charge the rest of them. Criminal Code of Canada: - Section 430 (Mischief): Blocking or obstructing infrastructure, such as roads or railways, in a way that interferes with their lawful use or endangers public safety can be considered "mischief." This is an indictable offense if it endangers lives or causes significant disruption. For example, obstructing a highway or railway could lead to charges if it disrupts public access or safety. - Section 423 (Intimidation): Intentionally obstructing others from using public infrastructure they have a lawful right to access can be prosecuted as intimidation. - Section 175 (Causing a Disturbance): Blocking infrastructure in a way that disturbs public order may lead to charges under this section. * @TorontopoliceOp @MTLpolicetweets @OttawaPolice want to chime in on why these terr0rists are allowed let off smoke bombs in our streets? Want to smoke a cigarette? Find a designated area? Want to let off a smoke bomb? Do it right on Jewish patios, on every street corner? Jaywalking? - fined! Block traffic for unlawful protests, or intimidation “prayer”? Go ahead… as long as you’re the right ethnicity Two Tier Policing has gotten out of hand Do your effin job @OttawaPolice @TPSOperations @fordnation @OntarioPCParty @francoislegault

Deem the protests illegal is they don't follow very simple rules "In Canada, a protest is generally considered legal if it is peaceful and does not incite violence, damage property, or obstruct public spaces beyond reasonable limits"

So in other words, they can , but no one else can.

It's because they are being paid to protest. The police are being told to leave them alone and the police are obeying like good little muppets. More LIBERAL double standards.
