Letter to the editor: Protests went on far too long

These people demonstrated an absolute lack of respect for democracy and other Canadians.

How was this so-called "Freedom Convoy" allowed to carry on with their illegal action for so long?

When a group's actions are outside of legal limits and they are not checked by those whose duty it is to uphold the law, anarchy and chaos ensue.

Authorities must use whatever means are necessary to ensure that society and democracy are safe from these lawbreakers.

Polls show that most Canadians do not support the protesters or their methods. Our democratically elected and legitimate government can not and should not give in to extortionists. If they do, anyone with an agenda could hold Canadians hostage.

These people demonstrated an absolute lack of respect for democracy and other Canadians.

They were behaving like petulant children with their cries of "I don't wanna, I'm not gonna, you can't make me." Like unruly children they should be sent to their rooms without dinner.
