Canada bans gatherings to stop “misinformation,” It’s not about health!
Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People’s Party of Canada (PPC), was arrested last Friday after speaking at an anti-lockdown protest in St-Pierre-Jolys, Manitoba. He was arrested for violating provincial health orders, which prohibit indoor and outdoor gatherings on both public and private property and mandate 14 days of self-isolation for anyone entering the province.
He was sent a letter in advance advising him that he was not allowed to what was a small rally. Canada is talking about vaccine passports.
