The police crackdown came as Alberta reported another 1,352 infections on Saturday and 1,286 on Sunday. An additional 26 deaths were reported Saturday, and 10 on Sunday.

Such rallies have been a weekly occurrence for people protesting the public health orders, including mandatory masks. Tickets have been given to protesters at previous rallies, however, Saturday’s event seemed to have garnered the greatest enforcement from police thus far.
