Wow, I figured we didn't have laws like that here. A few years ago we had a bunch of honkies drive on down to Ottawa. They had a website with their plans, and they literally said they were going there to overthrow the government. If you want here is a Wikipedia article about them

They got some house arrest

Edit: I have added a Wayback link to the MOU.

Not to worry.

Canada Unity worked hard to scrub it from their servers after the fact, claiming it was being used incorrectly (aka they realized they had published evidence on their website after having whipped up a frenzie about authoritarian rule (and fell silent just a couple years later when the Premier started doing actual charter and rights violations)).

They also did an award ceremony for the on the ground leaders; I guess if you instigate enough fights with homeless people in shelters and cause X billion in economic damage, you gather enough PPoints for a victory lap and some timbits.

But it's been archived.

For none Canadians, they are called honkies because they honked their horns for week, not because they are country bumpkins.

I'm positive there was some overlap, but still mostly separate circles in a Venn diagram.
