Other right-wing accounts variously reacted by describing the move as Orwellian, lamenting the death of free speech and even contemplating leaving Canada for good.

I was making a joke about the first amendment.

In the US Constitution, the first amendment guarantees the right to free speech, and this was cited by many convoyers for instance.

The first amendment to the Canadian Constitution allowed for the admission of Manitoba as a Province.
