What is this (protest?) flag?

White flag, two black circles arrayed horizontally across the flag. Each circle with a red slash horizontally through it, just slightly wider then the circle. Photo link inside.
Partial photo at the right side of the header photo on this article: Protest held to 'end the lockdown' in downtown Toronto. This only shows one circle, but from what I saw they were both the same.
So from the context I have a vague idea it's anti-mask, but I drove past that protest and I also saw anti 5G, anti-pharma, and various Q-Anon type signs. I just couldn't place this one and its bugging me.
The flag also appeared to be professionally printed/sewn, and there were at least two of them there, so it's not a literal one-off.

Best answer: The article you linked says: "A group on Facebook called “The Line” appeared to be the organizers of the event, which they called the “March for Freedom.”"

Best answer: Background on the logo itself:
This is the symbol of unity and strength. A symbol that represents our struggle against an oppressive force and protection of our civil liberties.
It is called "The Line". A red mark represents the people drawing the line to end oppression and control.
The line is drawn over the letter O which represents any oppressive force.
The people will defend their rights and civil liberties at any cost.
Personally, I won't join any organization that puts the period outside the quotation mark.
