Nope. They are explicitly blocking and impeding. They have parked trucks in intersections in Ottawa with the intent to shut down passage.
They are also blocking the border: Protest convoy remains stagnant at Southern Alberta border crossing
I have the same view of them as I did of blm protestors blocking traffic: summary removal & arrests. Protest if you like, but do not impact commerce and legal passage.
I fully expect many here who support the wanton, deliberate impeding of traffic to cry foul next time left wing protesters do the same thing. The lesson continually driven home to me that the bulk of the right are no different than those on the left. Easily manipulated voters, blindly loyal.

I have no desire to be "better" than the left. IDGAF about any claim to moral superiority.
I desire only that they have no power to involve me in their insane plans whatsoever.
At this point if it takes real atrocities to accomplish that, I would find that acceptable.

I appreciate your honesty, but condoning terrorism over whatever these plans are I certainly cannot get behind.

Both countries have been severely eroding the rights of citizens mainly since 9/11. I've seen it with my own eyes. They took COVID as the right opportunity to gain more control.
Even if this goes for the citizens, what stops them from doing something else?
Reminds me of when you put put a frogs in a pool and they can't get out. They expend all their energy until they drown. They are hoping that this will expend their energy so they can do something more deceitful but in a back door approach.
Look at NYS with the mask mandate. Here we have a prime example of a huge group of people in indoor and outdoor spaces without masks some vaxxed, some not. Why is Horechul enforcing masks? Because no one is stopping her. Even the court of law doesn't stop her.

I think one significant difference that seems to be passed over in this apple to oranges comparison of protests, is that the convoy is not destroying property, setting fires or assaulting people who display an opposing view (or just happened to be in the wrong place at the wrong time). BLM would have had a whole lot of traction with more people if they had in fact confined their protest activity to this sort of thing, rather than wanton looting, arson and vandalism.
They’re parking all over the place, they’re creating an ungodly amount of noise with their horns and singing their national anthem, and they are indeed impeding vehicle traffic, but this seems to be the extent of their protest thus far. This is an assertive petitioning the government for a redress of grievances.

We will be working with the police 100% all the way through this to ensure maximum safety for everyone. We want to maintain emergency routes open at all times.

Just stop it! No one is condoning terrorism. This is not terrorism or whatever. These are not normal times. The mandates are not normal.
A traffic jam is not terrorism. Get a grip.

PS! If the "convoy" didn't create traffic problems it would just be a parade.

Wrong. Post #217 very clearly condones it in follow-up to post #215.

Its more a case of being fed up with being politically correct and tolerant of intolerance.

Plus, truck drivers work for a living, it is not like they are on some type dole and protesting.
George Soros did not take out craigslist ads and pay them to do this.

The Western Convoy was unable to make it all the way into downtown Ottawa. This clip shows a grader and snow plow along with police blocking the route.
Many protestors walked the 2.5 kilometres to welcome the arrival of the convoy.

What amazes me is that all footage seems to show that emergency responders seem to have some way to get thru if need be.

What is amazing it that this "protest of truckers" is being watched worldwide. Other countries are saying, "we can do this".
If this goes away in a few days, "the elitists" win. If it takes off in the US and other countries, it will be a success.
