Round-two of the Quebec City ‘freedom’ protests is continuing Sunday, with demonstrators gathering in protest of COVID-19 health measures.
The crowd is considerably quieter on Sunday morning, after thousands packed into the provincial capital for rallies, concerts and speeches the day before.
Four arrests and 99 tickets were handed out Saturday, according to Quebec City police (SPVQ). Two were charged under the Criminal Code for assault and indecent action, and two others were charged for infractions of the city’s Peace and Good Order regulations.
Protestors were spotted forming a human chain to carry bags of stuffed animals to a stage near the Tourny fountain, where organizers distributed the toys to children at the event.
Children were also seen writing messages in marker on a school bus, with phrases such as “I’m Sam, 9 years old and I’m tired of the mask [sic]” and “F…. Trudo” scrawled on its yellow surface.
