MONTREAL: COVID PROTESTERS FLOCK TO STADIUM

Thousands of protesters took to the streets outside Montreal’s Olympic Stadium on Saturday to voice their contempt for lockdown orders, vaccine passport mandates, curfews, etc. 
So strong was the demonstration, the vaccination site closed down for the day.
City police handed out over a dozen tickets to demonstrators allegedly in violation of social-distancing measures and mask mandates. Later that evening, police shot tear gas into the crowd to break up the protests. 
“From the very beginning, this is not normal,” one protester dressed in white told CBC News. “The reaction of all governments in the west is absolutely not normal. First, they should leave people who are healthy in peace, and test and isolate those who are sick and treat them. There are a lot of good treatments that you can do at home.”
Regarding the made-up rules being imposed on the population, a woman told the CBC reporter, “Why do we need to go home at eight? Like, COVID doesn’t stop existing after 8 o’clock,” she said.
Another woman told the Montreal Gazette, “We’re here to support the cause, to stop the restrictions, and to go back to a normal life.” 
TRENDPOST: Since the COVID War began, of the 8.4 million people who live in Quebec, 11,944 have reportedly died from the virus or 0.142 percent of the population. On average, 0.01015 percent died per month since that time. 
And, from 26 April to the day the protesters took the streets, just one person died of the virus.
