Rally decries pandemic restrictions from steps of city hall

People fed up with Manitoba’s coronavirus restrictions gathered outside Steinbach City Hall Saturday for a two-hour rally that began with upbeat music and ended with fines.
The event, organized online, was the second Hugs Over Masks protest held in Steinbach in the past two months.

Steinbach RCMP used barricades and cruisers to block off sections of Reimer Avenue and First Street to traffic. A half-dozen provincial enforcement officers roamed the area with clipboards.

The crowd ebbed and flowed throughout the afternoon, peaking at around 110 people. A few stayed warm in parked cars but most milled about, many without face masks. Physical distancing was urged from the podium but seldom practiced by attendees, some of whom embraced one another or removed their gloves to shake hands.

Homemade signs propped up in the snow read, "Faith is essential," "Freedom is essential," "The media is the virus," "Lockdown is about control," "Love over fear," "Freedom over tyranny," "No study has confirmed masks work," and "We are all essential."
