Thousands gathered in the streets of Montreal to protest against the province of Quebec's Covid-19 vaccine passport, which will go into effect early next month.
Holding signs that said “Freedom!” and “We are not laboratory rats,” the demonstrators, many of whom came with their families, paraded peacefully under a blazing sun in downtown Montreal.
Quebecers wanting to eat at a restaurant, go to a bar, exercise at the gym or attend a festival will need to present proof of vaccination against the coronavirus beginning September 1, under a measure introduced by the province earlier this week, according to an AFP report.
