In Canada, several thousand anti-mask protesters gathered in Montreal and Vancouver, criticizing the country's response to the novel coronavirus pandemic.
Ryan Kulbaba, the organizer of the"March for Freedom" protest in Vancouver, claimed that the rally was to go against"government tyranny" and"government corruption," according to the Global News in Canada.
The Global News reported that protesters at the event on Sunday held up signs protesting mandatory mask and vaccine policies, as well as ones supporting the QAnon conspiracy theory, which claims that a number of prominent members of the U.S. Democratic party are part of a satanic cult involved in child sex trafficking.There is currently no mask or vaccine mandate in British Columbia, but masks are recommended for people while in public and in places where residents cannot social distance.
There are currently over 6,900 cases of COVID-19 and at least 213 deaths in the province, according to British Columbia's health ministry. According to CBC News in Canada, the march began outside of Montreal Premier François Legault's office and at one point spanned across six city blocks.
