Social media users were quick to point out that the NDP have been critical of the provincial governments' relaxed restrictions for large events, like Roughrider games. While the politicians broke no rules being there, unmasked and within six feet of each other, Twitter users responded unfavourably to their attendance. "If you're trying to be the 'responsible' party in the province and calling for vaccine requirements at Rider games and other large events, maybe avoid attending Rider games that *don't* have vaccine requirements," it said in part. —@ReginaPosterBoyLike some other social media users, they believed the NDP members' actions to be hypocritical. Sarauer says the NDP still maintains that Rider games should require proof of vaccination so that all attendees can "feel safe at all times."
