They have laid siege to the nation's Capitol, blocking the prime minister's access to his place of work and halting all business in the center of the Capitol. They are making threats to citizens who live in the area that they have taken over. They are blocking emergency vehicles from getting through to the neighborhood under siege.
They can do this because they are being paid by funds that come from foreign sources. One of those sources funded the attempted coup in DC on Jan 6. This is not a peaceful assembly. It is foreign interference with the government and economy of Canada.
Even in the US, people who block highways and city streets in civil disobedience get arrested and they know that they will. But the nature of the siege of the capital and bridge crossings with huge trucks makes that nearly impossible. It makes towing impossible.
So siezing the funds that keep the siege going by paying the truckers to be out of work is the safest and non violent way of breaking up the siege.
