Tensions boiled over at protests against vaccine mandates in two Canadian cities Saturday as a smoke bomb was deployed in Toronto and four men were injured in a hit-and-run incident in Winnipeg.
People protest in support of a trucker convoy protesting COVID-19 restrictions, at Queen’s Park in Toronto, Saturday, Feb. 5, 2022. “This is an extremely polarizing situation,” said Winnipeg Police Constable Rob Carver. “There are very divergent views, not just here but across the country.” The protests started in reaction to Canadian and U.S. laws that went into effect in January, requiring truckers crossing the border to be fully vaccinated.
