A group of Moose Jaw residents held their own Yellow Vests protests here in the Friendly City this Saturday.

Armed with signs and the movements staple, a construction vests, they gathered in front of City Hall to protest and show their disdain against delayed pipelines, Bill C69, the federal government, PM Justin Trudeau, and the UN Migration Pact.

Although there was a large number of social media supporters online, the Yellow Vests had less than anticipated numbers at their rally, but they still wanted to get their message out.

"You know, we complain about things on Facebook and we're just taking action now to show our unhappiness with what's going on in Ottawa right now," the rally's organizer Al Church said. "Time for a change."

Joining the movement that made it's way from France to Canada, they chose to protest in front of City Hall as it is one of the busiest parts in Moose Jaw, not because they don't like what our Mayor and Council are doing.

With their protest, there was also another gathering of counter-protesters at City Hall. A group of residents had decided to share their thoughts on the Yellow Vests, brandishing signs saying "Love Over Hate" and "Deport Bigots." For one protester, it wasn't so much about what the Yellow Vests in Canada were protesting, but how they were doing it. For example, allowing Soliders of Odin members to join rallies.

"You can be about pipeline that's one thing, but when you're about pipelines but then you want to make it about supporting racism and inviting [the Soldiers of Odin] with open arms into your movement, then you become a movement that's about supporting racism and we've come to counter that message," Darin Milo explained.

It may have not been a direct counter to the Moose Javian Yellow Vests, but the group as a whole.

Church actually wants it to be clear that this isn't about race to him.

"We are not racists, we are not bigots," he said. "As far as immigration, my grandparents came from another country, so I am a product of immigrants. So I'm definitely in favour of immigration but collective and careful immigration to make sure the bad guys don't come in."

This may have not been a rally with a convoy of truckers backing them up, but it is another group of Canadians exercising their rights to show how they felt about the federal government, and another group showing their disdain to how the Yellow Vest movement is going on with their activities.
