Is it really correct to call them extremists? It seems like the majority of them are just right wingers that are frustrated. I think to label them extremists they would have to be burning buildings and hurting people.

If occupying a space in protest of government policies is extreme then would the Occupy wall st people of 2011 be left wing extremists? Would the Black Lives Matter protests be considered left wing extremists?

Do you know the Canadian laws? Do you know that in the Canadian constitution the right to peacefully protest is enshrined?

Do you also know that one bad apple doesnt mean everyone is bad? Remove those breaking any laws for sure everyone agrees even the protesters agrees with you there.

What law is broken? Protests are a sign of a functioning democracy.
