'It's terrifying': Police on hand as pandemic protesters picket hospitals
CTV
A Toronto hospital where protesters denouncing COVID-19 measures rallied Monday afternoon said such demonstrations are demoralizing for health-care workers who have cared for patients infected with the virus despite the risk to themselves and their families.
Doiron, who came to Toronto from Prince Edward Island to wait for a lung transplant, was leaving after a physiotherapy session at the hospital, with Longaphie, her cousin, pushing her wheelchair. The crowd of largely unmasked demonstrators parted slowly but peacefully to let them through as one officer led the way and another walked behind them. "It's terrifying," Doiron said. "Doctors told me if I ever catch COVID, I won't make it." Dozens of demonstrators attended the rally Monday, many of them condemning Ontario's proof-of-vaccination system, which is scheduled to take effect next week. A larger demonstration also took place earlier Monday afternoon outside the Ontario legislature.
