Frisco “The Freedom Lion” stands and listens to the speakers as they talk at the “Save Small Business” rally in Courthouse Park in downtown Calgary on April 11, 2021. Frisco, the mascot for Calgary Freedom Central, stood with a couple hundred people during the rally that was hosted by Calgary Freedom Central. The rally was for supporting small businesses that are facing hardships as a result of COVID-19 and the provincial lockdown, but also to express disdain for mask usage, vaccines, the COVID-19 testing method, and compliance with the government and the enforcement of said closures.
