Covid-19 threat: Canada sees the protest against Covid-19 measures
Canada -Thousands of people gathered in Canada on Saturday to protest vaccine mandates, masks, and lockdowns. Many people protested in the capital Ottawa against the new COVID-19 measures.
Some people parked on the grounds of the National War Memorial in Ottawa, Ontario. Some people danced on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Many protestors carried signs and flags with swastikas and some used the statue of Canadian hero Terry Fox to display an anti-vaccine statement. They argued that the new Covid-19 rules should not be mandatory.
Gen. Wayne Eyre, Canada’s Defense Staff chief wrote on Twitter about the incident. The chief wrote on Twitter, “I am sickened to see protesters dance on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and desecrate the National War Memorial. Those involved should hang their heads in shame.”

Many protestors compared vaccine mandates to fascism, which is a form of dictatorial power. Reportedly, one truck carried a Confederate flag and many carried expletive-laden signs. The protestors were targeting Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
