No acknowledgment is made of the grief created for the residents living in the downtown area whose sleep was disturbed for weeks. Also the loss of business created by the truckers presence.
Their sleep was not disturbed for weeks, honking from protestors was normally finished by 11pm every night with the exception of friday and saturday nights. The noise injunction was put in place 10 days in to the protest and remained throughout. Many horns heard past midnight were counter protestors honking as they drove by and gave everyone the finger. There is an affidavit with 120+ signatures of residents in the directly (very small portion of the city) affected area that have said the noise was not bad and that they supported the protest. Every day I had locals coming to the trailer to thank us and beg us not to leave, many were government workers that would lose their jobs had they been caught there. As far as businesses being affected, only the ones that listened to city officials and closed up shop lost out on business. The protestors asked all businesses to open and those that did have had the best sales by far in over two years. One of those businesses has offered me free food for life because of their profits (over 100% profit over regular winter months) and to thank me for coming out from AB to help fight for all Canadians rights of choice.
Another interesting fact is the majorly reduced crime rates during the protest. Those stats are published for you to look up.
