More than 200 people, mostly Canada Post employees opposed to mandatory vaccination of federal officials, demonstrated on Sunday afternoon.
The event took place in front of the Canada Post establishment in the Saint-Laurent area of Montreal.
As the holiday season quickly approaches, these workers reluctant to vaccinate against COVID-19 will find themselves on unpaid leave by Friday if they don’t change their mind.
Other people, such as the anti-health measures activist François Amalega, were present to reiterate their opposition.

François Amalega addressed the demonstrators gathered in Montreal.
“Unvaccinated lives matter”, “Right to work” or “Let’s take back our power”: the many signs held up by the participants speak volumes about their dissatisfaction.
