Dozens of people staged a show-of-support parade outside the home of Saskatchewan’s chief medical health officer, Dr. Saqib Shahab, on Sunday.
The parade followed a protest last weekend by people unhappy about COVID-19 restrictions in the province–a protest that angered more than a few, including Premier Scott Moe, who called the demonstrators a “group of idiots.”
This weekend, it was a different story.
Watch// A show of support for Saskatchewan’s chief doctor:
Sunday’s show of support came after Moe announced on Friday that he would not be adding any new restrictions to fight the pandemic.
Restrictions in Saskatchewan are less stringent than in many other places in Canada.
Residents are still allowed to attend worship services, go to restaurants and bars, go to movies and get haircuts.
