They don't want his money, the want him destroyed. By allowing him to continue with his business, he could continually pay the families. Now, they won't be getting much of anything.

As many on this community have stated: Freedom of speech doesn't mean freedom from consequences.
This is sarcasm right? There are a ton of examples of police beating/murdering people, lying, and even planting evidence caught on their own body cams. I've never seen an activist group that didn't want body cameras. I have seen pushes for disabling the ability for the cameras to be disabled/muted and calls for penalties for "lost" or "missing" footage if not criminal charges (destruction of evidence).
tons? There are some examples. Much less than what activists would like us to believe.
This is a great idea. In the US, it pretty much stopped the idea overnight that cops were beating people for no reason. Many activist groups now want to get rid of body cameras.

Finding clients is the single hardest thing you will do as a contractor. I've been contracting for 10 years and even now, I deal with clients ghosting me, projects falling through at the last minute, etc.
I just had a client that wanted to talk about a new project today. They never sent me a meeting link and ghosted me.
Applying to 1099 jobs is a good idea. it's a numbers game.

This is great, for the government. The average person that uses this will just let it fill in the boxes, without even trying to look for anything that might save them money.

I'm on it, but my resume hasn't been updated for at least 5 or 6 years. It hasn't really hurt my career.
I know that opponents of the current gov are enjoying this line recently, but our government is so far from totalitarianism that this seems silly to me.
The real problem is oligopoly, not fascism or anything like that.
The government puts most of its effort into protecting friendly companies and industries from competition and even funneling taxpayer money to them.
In the case of Bell & Rogers this is billions of $ a year.
Have we forgotten Covid so quickly? People involved in a legal protest had their bank accounts seized.
After my first few jobs out of college (15 years ago), I realized I hate working from someone else's office. It feels so constrained and like I'm in school again. Remote work was very rare then with salaried jobs, but not as a contractor.
The company I'm working for now had an office pre-pandemic (I would meet with the director once/month), sold the one here locally during the pandemic, and got acquired by a large, international, company where the majority of the employees work remotely and the HQ is in Europe (I'm in the US).
The last time I had to go to an office was for a local contract a few years ago (80 miles away from me) that required me to drive-in once/week for a few hours. The project ended after a few months and I found something 100% remote.
I used to work from coworking spaces and sometimes the library, but now I have my own home office. Everyone talks about mixing life and work when working from home. It's pretty easy for me to just turn everything off and walk away at 5.
