Thousands rally in downtown Montreal to protest Quebec mask rules

Broad spectrum of motivations and ideologies present; few wore masks

Thousands of demonstrators marched through downtown Montreal Saturday to protest against the Quebec government's mandatory mask regulations.

The protesters — the vast majority of whom did not wear masks — carried signs and wore t-shirts indicating a variety of motivations and ideologies in opposition to face coverings.

Some demanded freedom, some were critical of the Coalition Avenir Québec government, Premier François Legault or public health director Dr. Horacio Arruda, and others espoused various theories about COVID-19 and U.S. politics.

"I find it illogical," said Nathalie Warren, who travelled from Saint-Jean-sur-Richelieu, Que. for the protest.

"Say we go into a restaurant," she said. "We walk in wearing a mask, because, what, COVID is there? Then we sit down and we can take the masks off because, what, the COVID is gone?"....

The lock downs didn't work... People are still getting sick, but not as sick as when the lock downs were on... Time for Fauci and Canada's Tam to explain why we are now open and less people are falling victim to covid-19.

Those advocating for renewed lock downs should check the figures... Most deaths occurred during lock downs.

BTW - They spent several months explaining that mask will not prevent you from getting covid, but it would prevent you from giving covid... If you don't have covid, why should you be wearing a mask?

Very interesting tweet thread about nurses in Canada wining two arbitrations against mandatory mask use. It’s pre covid, but the reason they won is that there was no definitive studies showing general mask use made any difference.

The chart updated weekly is toward the middle of the page and typically takes a few seconds to load up, longer if your Internet connection is slow.

The Democrats are beating a dead horse on this one and they know it. Their only hope is to try and claim that the masks are why deaths have dropped off to nothing. But the type of “masks” most people are wearing are worthless. They are typically not even very good at stopping dust particles a hundred to a thousand times larger than viral particulate. People who are wearing them outside and think that they are protecting themselves from some type of hazard are only showing that they are gullible fools. The crisis is over... all the nonsense we are being put through is a travesty.

Sorry no logic is allowed re wearing masks!

In NY you have to order a full mean to have a drink. According to Sonny Cuomo, the Virus knows who has food on the table and who just ordered drinks. An order of fries or wings does not count as a meal according to the Virus.

Perfect when it comes to CV19, the intelligent killer virus that knows if you are eating a full meal in NYC or just snacking. If you are just snacking, it will kill you then or over the years.

Or, does this just shows how deadly, no diabolical, this virus is. It can sense a Trump rally or wedding, church service and infect everyone there at. But it has been mutated to have a PC gene that allows it to be “woke” so as not to infect a BLM protestor. Yes, diabolical.

Maybe it’s related to the intelligent virus Dr Who runs into several centuries from now. (courtesy of wally_bert!)
