"The protests “broke the spell” of COVID and forced scenes of unmasked mirth onto the capital. “One thing to note is that the mask mandate in Ottawa is basically dead this weekend,” observed broadcaster Andrew Lawton. “Virtually no masks worn in hotels, food places and stores, and staff have either given up trying to enforce or don't actually care.” And after two years of authorities strenuously forbidding any public gathering or celebration, fireworks once again flew over the nation’s capital.
