Enforced the same way the law was enforced for the Coutts blockade, right?

Quebec got away with it for years, whine and complain long enough and eventually the government will cave.

They can practice civil obedience, you would not imagine how the world works when people who only vaguely follow the rules start following them to a T.

Laws are effective when they are enforced, but laws can also be ineffective when followed to the T.
