Anti-Immigration Rally In Toronto Drowned Out by Massive Counter-Protest

TORONTO – What was billed as a “Canada First Patriot Rally” allegedly against mass immigration devolved into chaos Saturday afternoon at Christie Pits Park, as hundreds of counter-protesters effectively shut down the event, forcing attendees to disperse under police escort amid cheers and jeers.

However, the rally was vastly outnumbered by a coalition of pro-immigration activists, labour unions, and community groups who arrived en masse for their “No to Hate, Yes to Immigrants!”
