Montreal man pepper-sprayed and arrested for disobeying mandatory mask rule in Tim Hortons

Quebec’s mandatory mask rule in public indoor spaces went into effect on Saturday and not everything is going as smoothly as many thought or planned.

Sandra Bourgoin posted a video on Facebook Saturday afternoon of a man in a local Montreal Tim Hortons being asked to wear a mask by a police officer.

In the now-viral video, after several tries, the man still refused to wear a face-covering as required by government orders.

The video appears to show the officer grabbing the individual and pinning him forcefully.

reasons, and they are willing to enforce it.

The US, unfortunately, indulges and encourages all its stupid people to be, well, stupid. And so here we are.

have to set boundaries. Then even idiots learn. The guy was resisting arrest i saw. Some fool last week refused to wear a mask at a store somewhere in Ontario. The police were called after he assaulted someone. He left. The police followed him then cut away because it was too dangerous to chase him and they had his license plate. The went to his house. He met them with guns drawn. They shot him. He is dead. He died on the hill of not wearing a mask but i guess the good news is he finally had meaning in his life

Trump really is a death cult only i think Trump's death cult is run by the right wing extremists who stir the base up on some issue like not wearing masks. Then Trump reads the crowd and it becomes his policy. Then mayhem happens and finally when it is disastrous and the experts are screaming and it looks like the US will go down the tubes without intervention and Trump will be destroyed politically, then Trump is for masks. Weird thing is Trump corporation was going to make masks with their logo on it when masks were first suggested by health experts in the US. I think it was April. Trump wasn't against promoting masks at that point. Trump is just a crowd reader, not the leader of the death cult. The leader of the death cult is some people with access to bots and ads on the internet. Maybe foreign too. Corrupt. Cold hearted. Anti black. Anti woman. Anti lgbtq. Getting rid of Trump will not get rid of them. The fight will go on way past January.
