Students Against Mandates is a grassroots Canadian organization organized because of the tyrannical Canadian government policies in managing the COVID-19 pandemic. They are based in Winnipeg, Manitoba, which, for Americans, is the Canadian province directly above North Dakota and Minnesota. Their story began in August 2021 after an unpleasant— though not completely unexpected — announcement landed in the inbox of their founder, Leigh Vossen. Manitoba’s colleges and universities have rolled out a new policy that students who fail to provide proof of COVID-19 vaccination will be barred from their studies and attending campus.
