Outdoor transmission is relatively low risk, and the mask usage is high. Our COVID cases are much higher in the Calgary region (and have been the entire time) vs Edmonton, so that alone is not an indicator.
Either way I'm not condoning this rally, and was not involved for the bulk of it but I feel some level of obligation to be involved given how vocal I am about this issue here and on every other platform. A lot of people don't actually get the chance to talk to a black American about these issues and are so grossly misinformed that it's good for me to be involved.
