Bernier tweeted about the protest, saying "Whatever the mayor, the police, the public health fanatics, or the despot @fordnation say, WE’RE NOT GOING TO SURRENDER OUR CONSTITUTIONAL RIGHTS!" 


Photos also showed Bernier posing with an anti-lockdown sign. 

The crowds gathered at Meridian Place in Barrie, Ontario. 

Another tweet claimed that 500 people were in attendance. 

A flyer for the event, shared by Bernier earlier in the week, called it the Barrie Freedom Rally.
