While Rebel teams were on the ground in Toronto and Montreal to cover protests in those cities, Rebel News contributor Mattea Merta was in Saskatoon to cover demonstrations held against similar COVID-19 restrictions in Saskatchewan.

Protest organizer Tamara Lovie of Saskatchewan Freedom Revolution explained this protest had been 11 months in the making, and that demonstrators were fighting to hold on to their freedoms.

Much like in Toronto and Montreal, once the speakers had wrapped up, the group went for a march, chanting and holding signs along the way.
