Yeah, I hate confrontational and hostile people too, I don't know what the big deal is. All I know is that wearing a mask and exercising cleanliness during all this is far better than wearing a bubble ventilator over your head in quarantine for several weeks and drowning on your own fluids.
And for all those proclaiming this to be a big nothingburger. Be patient. You don't have to look for it...

If your grandmother fails to remove the lit Marlboro from her lips before she tells the trooper who pulled her over for speeding to "kiss her ass"... you might be a redneck.

And if she calls him honey, sugar, or sweetheart whilst telling him to kiss her ass... she's definitely a Texan.

Well no, where I come from people don’t speak and act like ya all
Don’t need guns or violence to be generally polite
Most people smile, some even say hi to people in the street
Ass backwards, well we say Arse backwards is swearing at people in the street.
You seem you all deserve each other
I hope it gets better in your third world country, not talking economics or social living system, just your manners and community mindedness, all sides
Ass backwards is abusing people in the streets, you are arse backwards.
Wear a mask, don’t, it’s of no concern to me. Abusing people in the street, that’s on you all, good luck with that, that esculates in to other things. Look at the conversation in this thread, anger, hate and rudeness
You have done it to yourselves
That’s arse backwards buddy
On that, we can agree. We are opening up some this weekend, which is our un-official start to the summer. But Mrs. Canuck and I will play it cool for another couple of weeks to see what the loosening of the lockdown brings. This upcoming incubation period will shape the summer.

Flu Season Starts October 1st for the USA. Hope we get at least one or two months where the mask can be left at home.

I feel like masks are a health hazard and this forum gives me cause to put out some suspected reasons.
"Inhaled air contains:
0.04% carbon dioxide
Exhaled air contains:
4% carbon dioxide
CO2 Facts
It is an asphyxiant and displaces oxygen, which can cause death. At concentrations of 10
percent and above, it can result in unconsciousness in 1 minute or less.
It can cause asphyxiation when leaks or discharges occur in enclosed areas, poor or
unventilated work areas, or below grade locations that are not confined spaces.
It can result in impairment in performance during prolonged exposure of 3 percent.
It can increase the heart rate and blood pressure and can cause headaches, dizziness,
sweating, rapid breathing, shortness of breath, dizziness, mental depression, visual
disturbance, or shaking depending on the length of exposure and the strength of the
concentration. "
Thus, IMO, if you must wear a mask do not do so for prolonged periods. Better not cover your nose to avoid suffocating on your exhale, which is 4% CO2, (a concentration stated above to cause impaired performance).
Perhaps on a related note, check out recent stories about "happy hypoxia"

Sure the random dude was a douchebag...
But the profanity laced tirade from the OP wasn't any better. A more adult response would have been no response. But it appears we are past that at this stage....
Are your personal freedoms worth more than other people's lives?
