1. I don't think you should overuse the word "insurrection".

They aren't attacking the capitol building in Canada or breaking in to try to kill the congress people or the vice president. Misusing the word would cheapen the seriousness of what Trump did on 1/6.

5. These are

Violent and dangerous criminals on the streets of Canada. They need to be dealt with swiftly to bring and end to their anti-government behavior.

6. No doubt about that. I just have a problem with calling it an insurrection.

At least, it hasn't risen to that level yet. We always call out republicans for misusing or redefining words. We have to use these words correctly ourselves without going overboard with the rhetoric. But I guess I am in the minority here.

8. They are trying to destabilize democratic institutions

Insurrection doesn’t have to be a riot.
