At the St Justine Hospital in Montreal, a group of protesters gathered to express their disdain for the government’s recent decision to launch a vaccination campaign for children aged five to 11 years old.
A few months ago, a ruling had also been put in place by the CAQ government to render it illegal to demonstrate within fifty meters of a school or hospital.
It is why, almost a minute after people arrived on scene, policemen came for the protesters — warning them that they will all receive fines if they remained on-site.
The protesters decided to stay — so the police officers tried to disperse the crowd in order to arrest them, while writing up infraction tickets for the protesters.
The police also roped off the area with an orange band where protesters were not allowed to demonstrate.
Is this what we call freedom of expression?
