Perhaps i missed it, but how many other protests in canada involve defiling grave sites, stealing food from the homeless, etc.

I can certainly agree that humans tend to demonize the sins of the other while turning a blind eye to their own side's, but is that really what is happening here? To me it seems like this protest is of a different type.

The BLM protests ended up in a lot worse. A few murders, a LOT of property damage, and a whole lot more. And yet they were largely supported by the media despite the bad apples.

In canada? Do you have a source for that?

(Not saying they were 100% peaceful,i know there was some unrest in montreal, but my understanding is it was quite minor and nothing like what you are describing)

No, they don’t. You won’t get a reply. There were BLM protests across Canada, but they were widely considered to be peaceful, and the turnouts were minuscule compared to Those in the us.
