"One major concern for many protestors is the lawless war in the Middle East that began without Congress' approval, said Julie Buchanan, Toronto chair for Democrats Abroad. That's against the constitution, she said. That's just one thing, there's so many things [that Trump has done], it's hard to count."
"Demonstrators marched through downtown Toronto Saturday, holding a variety of signs with phrases like, history repeats if we stay silent and injustice anywhere threatens justice everywhere."
"Buchanan said aside from supporting sister rallies across the world, Toronto's protest is a way to bring together American or dual citizens to encourage them to vote. She said there's no official number for how many Americans live in the country, but that roughly 600,000 U.S. citizens in Canada voted in the last election."
"Every American should vote, especially this coming midterm election, Buchanan said."
Hundreds protested outside the U.S. consulate in Toronto against President Trump, voicing concerns over his policies, particularly the war in the Middle East. Demonstrators held signs with messages about justice and the importance of voting. Organizers noted a significant increase in planned events, with 2,500 rallies scheduled. The protest aimed to unite American citizens in Canada and encourage participation in upcoming elections. Trump's previous comments dismissed the protests, claiming they do not represent the American populace.
