This occurred in the Niagara region where many who work in rural areas have been affected by the lockdown. People are frustrated and angry.
Below are clips of PPC candidate and local businessman, Peter Taras, hosting a speech on his property and the reaction of the crowd to the police presence there:
People’s Party of Canada (PPC) Leader Maxime Bernier accused NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh and Calgary Mayor Naheed Nenshi of attempting to silence opposition to lockdowns after the two claimed anti-lockdown protests were tied to far-right extremism.
“Maxime Bernier and his rhetoric are not welcome here and the Sask Party should do the same thing and tell him he is not welcome here,” NDP justice critic Nicole Sarauer said following Friday’s Question Period. “This is the last thing we need in this province.”
I called it the day after he was elected leader. @erinotoole is a flip-flopping, centre-left Red Tory. His ‘true blue’ mask has fallen. He’s quickly losing support.
DON’T SPLIT THE VOTE.

Anyone politically-engaged in Canada is familiar with this narrative; the PPC is Maxime Bernier’s vengeance-vehicle against the Conservative Party. The continued existence of the PPC destroys right-wing unity in Canada and will allow the Liberals to govern unchallenged as long as the PPC takes votes away from the CPC. It’s Reform all over again!
“I said, I think it was in March, last March. That you know, lockdowns are not the solution, and now they are doubled on it. Now we have lockdowns and a curfew here in Quebec, and maybe in other provinces.. And why is it not the solution? Because it isn’t working. And at the same time, you know, we need to have our freedom, and governments actually, right now, are looking at us as irresponsible children that they must tell what to do. But we are responsible citizens, and we don’t need lockdowns to fight this virus.”
