The use of police force to bust up this Alberta pro-Palestine protest is just as ugly as when force was used in Ottawa in 2022 to end the 'Freedom Convoy'. The message of either protest is irrelevant to the matter of civil liberties. Speech met with violence. A failure.

Maybe don’t start your review of a book a man *painstakingly typed out with his eyes* with two paragraphs about how undignified and humiliating it is to have ALS.
