I thought we lived in a Democracy
No, you don't. You live in a limited authoritarian state that grants you privileges in the absence of actual rights.
The only constraints on the power of your government is the conscience of your rulers because there really isn't anything in your culture or laws that pose a check on their power.
You have no property rights and property rights are the foundation of contract law and good government. Amazingly, the Chinese Communist Party understands this and has established property rights in China as far more sacred than they are in even the USA. Thus they are on the road to evolving a stable and honest government.
Meanwhile this issue in Canada is the kind of thing you'd expect to see in a 2nd world country where the police defy the authority of those who they are supposed to answer to.
And once your police get it into their heads that they don't have to answer to anyone then you folks might want to revisit the notion of reserving the right of the people to revolution. Of course, by the time you need such a right it will be too late.
