Saskatchewan's so-called Freedom Rallies are Covidiot jamborees fizzing with demented conspiracy theories, bunk science and naked racism. But even before coronovirus, the same sick sentiments popped up at pro-pipeline rallies. In this #ThrowbackThursday feature from March 28, 2019, Paul Dechene contrasts immigrant-hating, climate-change denying yellow vesters with a legitimate protest that put children--and their future--front and centre. https://planetsmag.com/2019-03-28/yellow-vester-cult/

Is it too soon to #ThrowbackThursday to a feature we ran this past spring? Because Greg Beatty's June 11 cover story still seems super timely, what with all the anti-maskers and anti-vaxxers running amok while deranged Comorbidity Cultists argue it's okay that some people will die. Read it here: https://planetsmag.com/2020-06-11/meet-the-delusionals/. By the way, Jason "influenza" Kenney's Alberta (population 4.4 million) passed Ontario (population 14.6 million) in total new daily cases today, 1,854-1,824. That has to be a wake-up call for Saskatchewan, don't you think?
