Yep. Like when actors, athletes, etc have an opinion on something political (or whatever), everyone yells at them to "stay in their lane". Not sure why this should be any different.

I expect it will escalate. I don’t put much past the crazies that joined them.

In case you missed it, during this entire pandemic I've advocated for listening to subject matter experts in the various fields. It is the censorship or attempts at discrediting those SMEs opposing the official government position that I've been pointing out all along.

And who discredited him? It was pointed out that being a signatory does not make him an expert on constitutional law. He’s a politician like all others. Doesn’t make him an expert. Otherwise we’ll be labelling a lot of expert titles on people we know are not.

Some politicians hold expert level qualifications in certain fields. Snowboarding, for example.

Aren't they staying until the mandates are removed and/or the government is "dissolved"?

While many politicians come from the ranks of the legal profession (and slink back after they've given up courting the electorate's votes), Mr. Peckford is not one of them. His university credential is in education and prior to entering politics, he was a high school teacher (though probably not at as exclusive a school as the one where another first minister worked; you don't find that kind of place around the bay). Other than self-proclaiming himself "The Great Negotiator", I suppose he may have gained some expertise in greenhouse structures to grow tomatoes in Newfoundland.

If this actually ends up being as big as they say it is, it wouldn't surprise me if parliament doesn't sit at all next week.
You may get some people who stay for weeks, but I'm sure that you will see the number steadily decrease as time goes on. From what I understand they are also protesting Provincial restrictions. My main thoughts on this is that way should any Province care what's happening in Ottawa, most of don't particularly like Ottawa.
Either way, I'm glad I don't live in Ottawa right.

Those of us out in the “sticks” (ie not Ottawa/Toronto) are expected to endure nearly daily protests/road blockades on the subject of native rights, racism in general, logging, pipelines, any kind of fossil fuels, climate change, homelessness and, of course vaccines.
Seems only fair that the politicians and bureaucrats that bungle these files daily should get to share in some of the fun…

I suspect most Ottawa residents won't notice the protest at all, most people who work downtown are working from home.
