Hundreds of people marched through downtown Ottawa Saturday afternoon, shouting slogans and waving signs as part of a rally against the ongoing COVID-19 lockdown. Videos of the rally showed people yelling phrases like "No more lockdowns!" with signs brandishing such slogans as "We are all essential" and "Freedom over fear." The protest comes as Ontario has extended its stay-at-home order in an attempt to get COVID-19 levels under control. The rally also comes after the Nova Scotia government was granted an injunction that will put a stop to all anti-vaccine and anti-public health order protests there, including an anti-mask rally that was planned for Saturday in Halifax.
