"Hate, violence and intimidation have no place on the streets of Canada and our government will fight it however we can. Ford said in a social media post Friday, explaining his request for an injunction against the Al-Quds Day rally scheduled for Saturday in Toronto."
"Emergency management Supt. Craig Young has said police initially anticipated 3,000 people to attend the demonstration but the number could be higher given recent geopolitical tensions. Young said the rally comes amid heightened unease and fears of violence in the city after shots were fired at three synagogues and the U.S. consulate in the past two weeks."
"We are asking everyone who plans to attend, whether they are participating in the event or protesting it, to do so lawfully and respectfully. Anyone who engages in violence or obstructs police can expect that the law will be enforced swiftly and decisively."
Ontario Premier Doug Ford asked the provincial attorney general to seek an injunction against a planned Al-Quds Day rally scheduled for Saturday in Toronto. Two city councillors, James Pasternak and Brad Bradford, also called for an immediate injunction to stop the march. The rally, organized as a show of support for Palestine, is set to begin at 3 p.m. outside the U.S. consulate on University Avenue. Toronto police plan to increase their presence and anticipate approximately 3,000 attendees, though numbers could be higher due to recent geopolitical tensions. Police emphasized that anyone engaging in violence or obstructing officers will face swift legal enforcement, while urging all participants and counter-protesters to demonstrate lawfully and respectfully.
