Swing and a miss…do better

hey yyz sun. maybe point out in your next tweet that the western uni is heavily funding by you know who. bill gates....follow the $$. those students are merely atm machines for that sick excuse of a human being gates.

You can't fix stupid... or can we?

Why stop at hundreds bring thousands.

Except those aren't students.

Those are the oldest freshmen ever seen.

Shhhhhhhh........ Don't tell anyone the protestors were not students but just Hildebrants minions! No need to tell the WHOLE story.

Then they can’t attend. Simple solution-respect public health laws. 🪶😡

$5 says 95% of these “protesters” have never set foot on a place of higher learning until now!

tagline should be Hundreds protest science

'Hundreds' of what? Camo-wearing sadsack NOT-STUDENTS? FFS. What a joke.

Old people 🤣

When is Justin calling for the Emergency Act? ... Time to close up those bank accounts Freeland?

This is partly the media’s fault. If they objectively reported on the thousands of people with vaccine injuries - Western would have never even considered mandates.

So many middle aged students

Keep on protesting

Wow. Age demographics of University students sure have changed since I went. Or is this just more bullshit from one on Canada's leading birdcage liners

Sure don’t look like 17 and 18 year olds starting their time at university

See the sun is on the side with the crazy.

hundreds of peepee followers invade Western posing as students

About time ! Lets go people open your eyes

Are there other universities requiring these mandates in Ontario or is Western unique?

How many of them are actually attending or working there?

Vaccines save lives 💉💉💉💉

title should be : “only 100s are protesting” 1000s are enjoying safe studies.

Maybe three students...the rest are the privilege fighters...not even saying freedom anymore because Canada is already free. Go home Caillou convoy.

Looking forward to your coverage when the same people show up at a different U next week.

No government mandates Re vaccines. So why does a university feel the need. Especially when the majority of their population aren’t at risk. The male 18 to 24 males are at risk for heart side effects 1/5000. Plus vaccine doesn’t stop spread so outbreaks quite possible

Most are over 35 AKA not students.

correction: Convoy protests Western University vaccine mandate.

look at the crowd photos its mostly older people who are unlikely to be students

Universities have every right to decide policies for their own student body. I studied journalism Carleton & the only entry requirement was - 80% in high school French - no Eng. course req’d, so that’s what I did. Just do it & quit whining

And they say The libs don’t work.

some photo there, totally looks like students protesting not the same old riff raff that cries about mandates everytime

Ahh a gathering of fascists and health supremacists.

Not only the freedom convoy truckers were fighting for mandates at the border be lifted . University student fight against mandates after University took their tuition and the students were not given the choice to go somewhere else Bill Gates Listen Our body Our choice

just leaving this here

The virus has broken some people & they’ve surrendered to it. The unscrupulous take advantage to mislead those people into blaming those who remain united against it, & want them also to surrender. Viruses don’t care who you vote for. Fight the virus. Help each other.

40,000 students at western and a 100 seniors (non-students) turn up to protest and this is your headline ?

The Toronto Sun is fueled by extreme right wing corporate finances... like Post Media...owned an d operated out of NY no wonder we have US style politics in Canada

Western must have the largest group of senior students in the country.

From the live coverage and photos it doesn't actually look like that many students. There's a lot of trucker convoy and adult conservatives there no surprise.

It's time to put a stop to this BS nobody is afraid of it anymore!

Triple vaxxed 😆

All the poor whittle babies of the poor whittle not free Canadians I’m sure. Anybody have a soother for them

MondeMicro After everything we learned and experienced with those jabs we know they are not effective, we know the mandates are all about control

Yes , this group really looks like university students .

Thousands are looking forward to safe studies !

Most of these protesters don't look student-age. But if they are, they can always go somewhere else. Remember this is Canada, a free country, go to a different school. No one is stopping you.

Western has over 23,000 undergraduate students and a couple of hundred showed up to protest, some of them not even students. Much todo about nothing.

Hundreds of the trash freedom convoy

Good! Love it

Just obey the law in Ontario !

stop editorializing the news and try reporting facts and truth…

What a shame, only hundreds?

41,000 students and you're commenting on hundreds, most of which are NOT students. Makes sense..... 😐

It's pathetic that this has become their sole identity. They should get a better hobby.

and millions dont give a rats ass!

.02% of the student population.

And not one of them students 😼

And these guys don't even go to college I bet

It’s actually quite simple. The university has stated their policy, and students can each decide to attend, or not.

And how many of them actually attend that university ZERO

ps. There are other universities, aren't there?

I wonder if these are students

Hundreds lol

Nürnberg Codex is clear!!!! No one should put under pressure or forced to take an experimental drug. This COVID gene therapy is the most dangerous “vaccine” ever. Pandemrix vaccine is nothing compared to this poison!!! 2 Millionen reported side effects only in Europe.

Stop reading the New Jersey Sun, it is an American owned (66%) right wing news rag. It has no business involving itself in and manipulating Canadian politics. Owned by Chatham Asset Mangement of NJ.

the peasants are revolting ... and not that bright 🤡

“Hundreds of 6th grade graduates descend on what they assumed was parliament”.

Oh yeah. They look like students lol.

as they should-

The same old anti vaxxers that have been anti vaxxing it up for months, yawn

Hundreds protest. And how many students are enrolled at the University of Western Ontario?

Bet none of these outstanding citizens are students. Just more low life trailer trash.

How many protesters are students and how many are 'outside agitator' Convoyers trucked in for the occasion?

The leftists comments are hilarious. Not one sign of intelligent life. Yet they’re so good at calling people stupid and other names. Not one of them has been able to say anything with meaning or raise an argument other than the same old bs. Good luck with yourselves.

Hundreds. Lol

The first and last time on a university campus for many of them.

There are other universities. Move.

Good. What Western is doing is wrong

Any actual students in the protest or just people who have nothing to do

Can someone tell me the point of forcing this shot? It does 0 to stop transmission, even personal protection is not great anymore, and covid is so mild now. This guy is triple vaxed and got covid twice.

one can hope it is only the beginning. youth is our future and if they don't stand up nothing else matters frankly.

Not a very convincing showing.

Hundreds is a humongous number. Lets let hundreds preach to the millions, that's Democracy for the Sun. Just like their friends in the 🤡 convoy.

You'd expect at an institution of higher learning we wouldn't see so many science denying students. Very, very sad.

Imagine a government suggesting I must allow them to inject me with anything they want, as often as they want, or I lose my rights as a citizen and will then be denied access to services and institutions. Western University can go straight to hell.

quick! Invoke the Emergencies Act!

By people that don't go to Western

None of these people look like students, to be fair.

Any students? hahaha

Nobody forcing students to attend Western, find another school.

None of those people look like prospective students

Don't look like students. Noticed extra pickup trucks with flags around London Ontario today.

It's starting to come out how many the vaccine killed and is going to kill. There will be many lawsuits but remember.....our governments has let the creators of the vaccine off the hook so you will NOT be able to sue...so have fun with that..those left alive that is.

When risk exceeds benefit for students, particularly young males… there must be choice.

Western University needs to get with the program.

Once again the Toronto Sun going into orgasmic spasms.

And probably less than .000005 percent of these losers are students at Western. Look at them...LOLOLOLOL.

The media scare campaign has rendered the university staff into fearful cowards.

The Toronto Sun is a malignancy that has caused suffering for generations. Vile paper. Congratulations.

Its amazing the number of people that are taking various prescription meds that come with a long list of potential serious side effects, including increased thoughts of suicide and even death, but they refuse to take the basically safe covid vaccine. Go figure

Out of over 30000 students.

It’s time to get a life! What is being asked is not difficult, and although it might impinge on your choice, it does not impinge on your freedom nor on your rights! Get a life!

Arrest these chomos

Hundreds. That just leads me to believe there was a lot more

Let me get this right: 1 student, a former prof and a CMO from a county other than the one for London? And I’m guessing a bunch of other people who aren’t students. Yeah, that’s gonna convince Western University LOL

They shall shut down the University till the mandates ends.

Where’s the students or your photographer couldn’t find any all old people

The liberals have done an excellent job in turning our country into protestors.

Good for them

Western University students set to protest school’s COVID-19 vaccine, mask mandatesThe London, Ont., university announced Monday that anyone on campus in the fall must have at least three COVID-19 shots and wear masks in classrooms. Please see my “Letter to the Premier of Ontario, Doug Ford” opposing WesternU's recent COVID-19 policy update. StoptheShots EnoughIsEnough Ridiculous! Wake up! Life is being lived again! Implementing these kinds of measures at this stage makes zero sense. Next thing, they’ll be forcing flu shots on their students! I'm a big proponent of vaccines and other stuff we've done to stay safe, but this is pushing it a bit far at this point in the game. We're close enough to the finish line that we can chill out on masking.
