Cross-country protests rejecting vaccine passports and COVID-19 public health measures are planned for Monday, a series of demonstrations by a group that features among its organizers two Ontario nurses who travelled to Washington on the day of the infamous Jan. 6 riots at the Capitol building.
The protests, scheduled for cities from Victoria to St. John’s and organized by a group calling itself Canadian Frontline Nurses, echo those that have rippled across Canada in recent weeks in response to government announcements that they would initiate some variety of vaccine passport system, which would limit the access unvaccinated Canadians have to public spaces.
Both women travelled to Washington last January for a rally organized by Global Frontline Nurses, an organization that claims there is no evidence that social distancing is helpful in reducing the spread of COVID-19 and that “lockdowns do not work,” both positions widely disputed by public-health experts.
