On Monday, March 31, 2025, roughly thirty people held up signs and yelled chants outside of the Capital Exhibition Centre in Fredericton. The protest was in response to Pierre Poilievre’s Canada First Rally, the first of its kind on the East Coast. After about forty-five minutes of protesting at the venue’s side entrance, the Fredericton Police Force closed the doors.

Confusion ensued over the reason for closing the doors, with rally attendees accusing protesters of blocking cars, something not witnessed by this reporter.
