A demonstration against the wearing of the compulsory mask was held Saturday afternoon in Saguenay.
Several hundred people took part in this rally, which took place at Place du Citoyen, in the downtown area of the Chicoutimi borough. Participants wore no face coverings and were there to demand the right to make their own choices during the COVID-19 pandemic.
This is the case of Frédéric Pitre, founder of the Call for Freedom Group.
“I, unfortunately, found that most of the media qualified our protests as being against masks, but we are not against masks or against confinement. We are for the freedom to make our choices, ”he told the QMI Agency.
“It’s a peaceful rally, it’s going well, there are about 500 people,” continued Mr. Pitre, who is due to go to Quebec on Sunday to march against the wearing of the compulsory mask at the invitation of the former radio host Éric Duhaime and former TQS antenna manager Josée Turmel.
The actress Lucie Laurier was also among the speakers in Saguenay on Saturday.
