The mayor of Terry Fox s hometown is speaking out against what he calls the "appropriation" of the Canadian athlete s legacy during the anti-vaccine mandate rally in Ottawa on Saturday.
Some protesters jumped on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and others fastened an inverted Canadian flag to a statue of Terry Fox as they decried vaccine mandates in the nation's capital on Saturday.
"I am sickened to see protesters dance on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and desecrate the National War Memorial. Generations of Canadians have fought and died for our rights, including free speech, but not this. Those involved should hang their heads in shame," said Gen. Wayne Eyre, chief of the defence staff.
