Restrictions on demonstrations were in place as world leaders gathered for the G7 summit in Alberta. While Prime Minister Mark Carney hosted leaders in the resort town of Kananaskis, those coming to the area to protest were restricted to what was officially classified by the RCMP as a “dedicated demonstration zone.”
This secure area where demonstrators were allowed to rally was certainly not within shouting distance of world leaders, having been relegated to another popular nearby tourist destination, Banff.
Given the distance, it was little surprise when our Rebel News team showed up that there were very few protesters to be seen — most of those in the area were actually media.
One of those few protesters who did assemble in the area was a common face to those following Alberta politics, Dr. Joe Vipond, a climate alarmist who donates to the socialist New Democrat Party.
He’s the same doctor who fiercely promoted COVID vaccines during the pandemic, despite the side effects we’ve seen since.
