(LifeSiteNews) – Thousands of people took to the streets in many cities across British Columbia (BC) last week to protest COVID vaccine passports and the mandatory vaccination of healthcare workers.
The “Worldwide Walkout Health Freedom” rally was organized by Canadian Frontline Nurses, a group recently formed to protest against COVID lockdowns and jab mandates.
The September 1 protests were largest in the city of Vancouver. Rebel News reported that over 10,000 people attended them, blocking off sections along Cambie Street and 12th Avenue.
One attendee of the Vancouver rally told Rebel News that he “personally moved from Syria, a dictatorship country with very little freedom to come here, only to have my freedoms taken away from me. I became a Canadian citizen only last year, and I don’t understand any of this.”
A woman who had worked as a healthcare worker said she was “traumatized by her experience” of an understaffed healthcare system and quit her job as a result.
“I thought I was alone, and today I know I am not alone,” she said.
Vancouver Mayor Kennedy Stewart called the protestors “kooks” and a “bunch of jerks” who should “stay the hell home.”
Spoke to Vancouver Mayor @KennedyStewart about today’s protests: “I don’t care what group they come from, they’re just a bunch of jerks and they should stay the hell home.” Says he’s angry health-care workers were targeted by these ‘kooks.’ @cbcnewsbc #vanpoli #bcpoli #bcleg #cbc pic.twitter.com/CTyiTvluSL

Canadian Frontline Nurses also held rallies against jab mandates and vaccine passports on the same day as the Vancouver protests in all ten Canadian provinces.
BC will soon become the third province in Canada, following Manitoba and Quebec, with a local COVID-19 vaccine passport. It is to take effect on September 13.
