Student at Wilfrid Laurier University speaks out over mask mandate

Believe it or not, Wilfrid Laurier University in Waterloo, Ontario is still requiring students and faculty members to wear a mask at the school. Kamil Bachouchi, a fourth-year student at the school has been taking to social media to voice his opinion over Laurier's decision.

Today’s mask: a bucket on my head.

Wilfrid Laurier University needs stop trying to force their tyrannical mandate onto free-thinking students and faculty.

If I need to make a mockery of myself and this criminal “rule” to spark change, so be it…#EnoughIsEnough #DoNotComply pic.twitter.com/bMo0PoKAlB

Kamil has been expressing his opinion by sporting what he believes are perfectly suitable face coverings. This includes: a bucket, a grapefruit and a zip lock bag.

After speaking with Kamil, it became clear that he believes this is one of the few options he has in order to make a point on his stance on masking. 

Mask of the day: a hollowed-out grapefruit!

Apparently, I wasn’t harmful to society without a mask 2 years ago, but now, God forbid I get caught without a mask on…COVID only exists on campus!

I encourage all students to stand up for their rights! #NoMoreMasks #EnoughIsEnough pic.twitter.com/HuyDImDsT7
