| Subject: 'She's a liar,' Kelowna anti-COVID-19 restriction rally organizer takes aim at Dr. Bonnie Henry Sun Jan 17, 2021 6:06 am | |
| The organizer of Kelowna's weekly anti-COVID-19-restriction protests has been issued two $2,300 fines to date, but that hasn't deterred him yet.
David Lindsay was in Stuart Park again Saturday afternoon, giving a speech to a crowd of roughly 100 people. Any kind of gathering is in contravention of health orders put in place Nov. 19 by Provincial Health Officer Dr. Bonnie Henry. The order lasts until Feb. 5.
While the number of people who gathered far exceeded what's considered acceptable by provincial health orders, it was a significantly smaller group than was seen in previous weeks. Those present were just as vocal about their perspective, however, shouting out at those they saw wearing masks, taking umbrage with the presence of media.
“We have a duty not to comply and that’s what we’re doing, we’re sending a message. The COVID-19 alleged pandemic is completely unsupported in fact and law,” Lindsay said to the crowd that carried signs that read like “99.98% survival rate is not a pandemic.” Although no one in the crowd was wearing masks, they were outside and physically-distanced from one another.
“The only four facts that Dr. Bonnie Henry relied upon for her (first order on gatherings) all existed last year for the flu, and the year before that," he said.
“She’s not a hero, she’s not a saviour she’s a liar and the only place her picture should be is in a police file being charged,” Lindsay said.
The crowd cheered.
“She’s not elected she’s appointed,” one man yelled.
In a provincial state of emergency, the Provincial Health Officer — in this case Dr. Bonnie Henry— can make orders as needed.
Lindsay declined to comment for this story.
