It's all about the thwart. We need to protest this one. While masking.

No masks so that you can be identified, arrested and sued. Saw that play out in CA already. Luckily my attorney friend, John J. Uribe, put a stop to it. Highest CA appetite court found illegal for gov to continuously sue you over the same issues, aka political objection by peaceful protest.

I heard the presser live and thought the same! Two of my colleagues had covid last week. Many ppl living w disability, or with family who is, either avoid crowds or wear masks for health Ppl w disability should not have protest rights curtailed!

Disgraceful.

Do I hear the faint echoes of Thatcher & Mary Whitehouse within the directives issued by Ms Allan?

"The police minister, Anthony Carbines, said the government would work with police on how to ensure there were exemptions for people who require face masks for health and religious reasons."

Not to say I agree with the ban on face masks, it's a slippery slope if they are policing what constitutes as "health reasons"... Given the pandemic, everyone falls in this category.

Seeing what's playing out in the US, this is a real concern.

I don’t like it when the nazi thugs wear a mask I don’t believe they wear it in the same purpose as I do (health)

In politics, as elsewhere, ‘brand’ is no longer indicative of ‘product’.
