Over the last year, we\u2019ve seen our fair share of anti-lockdown protests.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These protests have taken place across Canada and around the world and are often attended by friendly freedom-minded individuals who are fed up with government overreach.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Protesters at these events typically share a similar sentiment; they just want to be left alone by our well-meaning and safety-conscious <\/em>public officials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Lockdown restrictions have taken a massive toll on small businesses, families, friends, and communities.<\/strong> And the longer they\u2019ve gone on, the more damage they have caused.<\/p>\n\n\n\n But for a few lucky provinces, including my home province of Alberta, those restrictions have finally ended once and for all \u2014 or so we’re told.<\/p>\n\n\n\n You would think that people would rejoice at this welcome news, but that hasn\u2019t been the case for everyone.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Unbelievably, protests have occurred across Alberta calling for increased restrictions, masking, isolation, and testing.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n So earlier this week, we went down to talk to these protesters. But instead of getting meaningful and well-reasoned responses, we were berated and accosted for daring to ask them questions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n In the sea of insults, snarky remarks, and middle fingers, one protester even tried to break my cameraman\u2019s equipment!<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n Here, take a look<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n These protesters insist that they\u2019re a tolerant and loving crowd who just want to save lives, but their behaviour that day was not reflective of their claims.<\/p>\n\n\n\n As you can see, the tensions were extremely high at this protest, and for that reason, we brought two bodyguards<\/strong> to keep my cameraman and me safe.<\/p>\n\n\n\n If you can help us cover those costs, please click here<\/a><\/strong> or go to JournalistDefenceFund.com<\/a><\/strong>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Yours truly,<\/p>\n\n\n\n Adam Soos<\/p>\n\n\n\n P.S.
