Large crowd marches in Canada to protest against vaccination passport
Shahennews
Hundreds of citizens gathered in downtown Montreal Saturday to voice their displeasure at the Quebec government’s plans to implement a COVID-19 vaccine passport to enter restaurants, bars, gyms and certain non-essential venues.
The protesters said that the vaccination passport system is “an unprecedented prejudice for the population that is strongly discriminatory,” calling on the opposition parties for a public debate regarding the rollout of vaccination passports.
Earlier this week, Quebec’s Health Minister Christian Dube confirmed that the vaccination passport will be implemented on September 1, in a bide to curb the increase of COVID-19 cases what he described as the “inevitable” fourth wave of coronavirus.
