GoFundMe seizes funds of Canadian trucker convoy

There is also an interesting juxtaposition with the kind of mainstream right wing media on this. I don't look for the kind of mainstream right wing media, but I get them in my MSN due to having a Windows computer.

The National Post at least (I don't know about the Globe and Mail which actually has a much larger circulation and is the actual mainstream conservative media) has cheered this ruling as an advance for 'individual rights.'

Only a week or so before this ruling though, The Supreme Court in British Columbia (which actually isn't the highest court in British Columbia, the B.C Court of Appeal is) struck down a new B.C law that had banned illicit drug users from consuming in public (the law hadn't actually come into effect before it was struck down.)

There were howls of outrage from the National Post and other right wing gasbags (although I agree with them on this) of 'what about the rights of the average person?'

Apparently, to these right wing gasbags, only the terrorist occupiers had rights in Ottawa during that Canadian embarrassment, but when it comes to these other situations, the court needs to balance rights between the individual and the community.
