As protests continue across the country against vaccine mandates and public health measures, a large group of people gathered in Yorkton to support two area businesses that have been accused of failing to abide by the current public health orders. Organizer John Graff says similar gatherings were being held in other east central communities today, adding that the ongoing protests across the nation are a sign of not only frustration, but desperation, that a growing number of Canadians see a “free Canada disappearing.”
