A group has overtaken the area in front of the Manitoba Legislature and has been there since Friday, honking horns and making noise to protest pandemic-related restrictions and mandates.
For the fifth straight day those horns echoed in nearby residential neighbourhoods.
“It fries my nerves,” said Carolin Bund, who lives three streets over from the Legislature Grounds.
She’s fed up with the group making the noise. They’ve parked semi trucks and tractors in the area, resulting in the closure of some downtown streets.
