Regina police are ramping up COVID tickets stemming from anti-mask rallies.

Officers handed out 16 tickets in the aftermath of a so-called ‘Freedom Rally’ in Victoria Park Saturday.

It appears that one of the men fined was Maxime Bernier, the leader of the People’s Party of Canada.

He posted a photo to social media, proudly posing with his ticket.

A similar protest is planned in Saskatoon Sunday.
