When you hear about protests in the news, do you feel inspired to act, and how does that look for you?

depending on what they are protesting I do feel inspired and show appreciation for the act.

Yes I do, because when I hear about all these issues around the world - I feel like I want to help them and raise my voice for them.

I admire the people who protest in the streets for how much they believe that the issue they represent needs to be changed. However, if everyone wants their issue solved by the government right now how will we decide what is most important?

no i feel less and less allinged with theire movement

I do not feel inspired. Public disturbances the lot of them

Protests are important to see the opinion of others, in some cases it can be a very small group with a loud voice and on other hands you can have big groups who believe in something/change but don't go protesting about it. As long as a protest is peaceful I believe they are important to our democracy.

Normally with the new form of social activism it's a let down. It's social. Not productive

I am inspired to take serious action against any form of discrimination and of course it is important to minimize illegals migrants in our country. However, immigration itself should be handled with respect and at the same time accountability in both the federal and provincial level, especially the borders in our country. Furthermore, I feel that gaining more knowledge and being able to learn from previous mistakes that the government has done will allow me to take action of creating a system that balances fairness and justice in the Canadian government. This for me would strengthen our economy, health care system, charter of rights and freedoms are going to be respected for everyone and following the laws in this country by having to take action in both a holistically and sensible way.

It depends; many of the protests are illegal prima facie, but due to the side they represent, the government and law enforcement are afraid to enforce the laws of the land.

It inspires me that people can think and act for themselves instead of following a corporate belief.

I do feel inspired to act if the issue is very bad and needs a protest.

I don't really like to involve myself in protests because I think they can get out of hand and are too chaotic.

depends what's it about, like "stop the genocide" i would, but if it were truckers strike, hell no.

No, I have a lot to do in my life, I really don't have the time to be an activist, I wish I did.

I'm usually not inspired to act depending on the topic that is protested.

I mostly feel guilty that I wasn't a part of it. But also I'm young, and my parents probably wouldn't let me go, and I also have no idea how to start getting involved in my area.

I felt inspired during the trucker protest. And that’s coming from somebody who has voted liberal until then. I can certainly say that that will never happen again as long as Trudeau is in power.

It depends on what the protests are targeting but if it doesnt affect us then we shouldn't be getting involved.

No, unless for a very good reason, I feel that things will play out properly.

I am inspired, I engage in more discussions with friends about it

I do not feel inspired to act and this looks to me like people who are trying to fight for what they believe in

I think if someone is really hurt for them to protest I think they should make a change to make their people happier.

Depends on what they’re protesting about half the people that protest are stupid these days. Have the protests that are organized aren’t even really that well organized anymore it’s just a bunch of nonsense most of them not all of them. Some of them are very well stood.

No. Lately protest has gone from the valuable tool it used to be to a form of whining. It is pathetic

I do not always feel inclined to act do to the reason often these protests do not result in peace, they often result in violence and destruction of public property, furthermore often times not any research is being done prior to the protest, often individuals jump on a "bandwagon" of sorts as human beings often seek enjoyment from being collectively opposed at something even if the cause may be unjust or corrupt.

Yes i feel inspired to act as a Social Activism rather than protesting for those.

I do not feel inspired, but I respect what they do to have their wanted rights.

I don't like it because I find it as a dangerous way of trying to change things.

I feel hopelessness because our government doesnt really seem to be listening to what the people want. The rich get richer and the poor get poorer.

Think that it all depends on what the protestisfor, however I dislike them overall us find that those uno participateinthese things are not well adverse in the topic and want to make aloud noise without doing enough research onthe overall issue. Ican appreciate people and passionate but trey often lead to rage
And negativity

Of course, if there is anything I can do to help, I choose to.

If it's for a cause that will affect my future in a good way then yes I'd feel inspired to act.

I never feel inspired to act in protests although some topics may make me feel mad, confused or glad about why people are protesting it, I would not do anything about it besides feel how I feel.

Me personally I don't protest but I encouraged everyone to protest.

I don't agree with the BLM movement nor the Trans-rights ideology. I don't see how defunding the police nor promoting pro-choice ideas would help anyone. It may be attractive to the younger generation unfortunately.

I do, but ultimately, there is not enough people and they would just make fun of me.

With certain subjects i feel inspired to act but others no so much.

No it doesn’t make me want to act and depending what its about inask myself why do people feel okay looking stupid or I think good job
