Send them all back to where they came from, and I'm not even kidding.
This is not the Canadian way.

Confirmed. I had to reroute around the east side of city hall because the police had the road in front of city hall blocked off to contain the pro-Hamas crazies. Hawks is circling overhead.

Easy now... its a tension filled protest with some fights. Pretty confident this happens in Canada fairly often.

Do they plan protests on the same day? Or did one show up after the other had already showed up?

Around 6 p.m., hundreds of people gathered in front of City Hall in support of Palestinians who have been killed by Israeli fire in Gaza. However, a handful of Israeli supporters showed up, and a confrontation broke out.

The protest was planned to support the Palestinian people in Gaza.

Ugh why not just make your own rally? What reason is there to show up for a peaceful rally other than to stir things up?

Not saying they don't have a right to do it ... but when you have a bunch of angry protesters and you show up across the street with flags of the country they're protesting draped over your shoulders ... people might get annoyed  It's peaceful ... but it's like a little sister with a finger in your face saying "I'm not touching you, I'm not touching you"

I'm Canadian as well, and you are disrupting my way of life.
And yes, you are ignorant. Jewish Canadians and Muslim Canadians have the same rights and freedoms as you. So suck it up or move somewhere else.
