Democracy in action Olivia Chow is drowned out by shouts of Shame and calls for a ceasefire can’t come back otherwise would say okay onstead okay the Avenue Road overpass has been the target of demonstrators for some time now those in support of Palestinians converging and temporarily shutting down
A busy artery that if you want to protest go protest outside of an embassy or a consulate or a government building it’s law enforcement that’s now come under Fire Toronto police chief myON demq issuing an apology after video surfaced online of officers handing a beverage box of coffee to protesters a
Poster on X saying the coffee was purchased by the protesters who weren’t allowed back onto the overpass Global News obtained a copy of an internal Memo from the board of the Toronto Police Association to its members it reads in part this weekend our members were faced with another challenging deployment to
Police a protest at Avenue Road and Highway 401 our members were tasked with keeping the peace and in doing so their acts have been portrayed in the media as being ineffectual and negligent nothing could be further from the truth a spokesperson for the Toronto police service tells us in performing a helpful
Act our officer motivation was to help keep tensions low and should not be interpreted as showing support for any cause or group where you you know start to encroach on someone’s ability to just function on a day-to-day basis um you know that starts to then tow the line in
Terms of you know what’s proper and what’s not blocking traffic you know ACC costing people who are just simply trying to get by by pushing forward your position that’s where we do need to see our law enforcement get involved
Over the weekend, there were numerous protests in Toronto, causing disruptions to public events.
Pro-Palestinian demonstrators interrupted a free skate event hosted by Mayor Olivia Chow on Sunday, calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict. The crowd shouted at the mayor as she attempted to continue with her remarks.
In another incident, Toronto police officers were seen handing over coffee and treats to protestors, which sparked controversy.

??????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????????? ?????????????????????????????????????????????????!?
this woman ? lol nobody even care what she wanna say its a disgrace she even still there in office. Even FORD BETTER
Oh Canada our home on Native land. Going after the Jewish community is not ok. Why is this group of protesters being treated with a velvet glove? The Jewish community is peaceful and very crucial in Canada. There are doctors, lawyers, teachers and so much more that have helped shape Toronto. The Canadian Jewish community doesn’t deserve antisemitism. Please point those protesters to the place we’re they should be, not harassing everyone in Toronto.
0:44 Democracy yes, thats why i wont vote for this woman agan
Instead of just being pro Palestine, how about we focus on both sides and don’t pick a side and beg for both litres to come to an agreement because from my understanding Palestine has two kinds of government. They have the good government that we side with and the bad government that is being attacked and everyone is signing with the bad government Hamas attacked Israel unprovoked
This is Canada not a Terrorist protection agency
Another day in Canada. ?
Protesting here is doing nothing. I suggest they go to Israel where their message will have some weight. Leave our cities out of this.
this is because the police brings hamas protestors coffee. The cops have NEVER brought Jewish protestors coffee.
Good for toronto. Olivia chow needs to raise taxes and change the city's name and hire more police to serve coffee
How peaceful community is.??????
Follow the laws in effect in Canada. Protest in your own countries.
1:39 "Where you, you know, start to encroach on someone's ability to just function on a day-to-day basis, umm, you know, that starts to then tow the line in terms of, you know, what's proper and what's not…. that's where we do need to see our law enforcement get involved."
For a second, I thought she was talking about Israeli encroachment. Like, our LE should go help ensure people in Gaza can just function on a day-to-day basis. But nah. She was talking about protesters blocking traffic. Actually. We live in Disneyland. Canada is not a real place.
They never do this in Arab countries lol
Boredom and its deeds
I remember when there were hardly any Muslims in my country, it was a lot more quiet and peaceful back then.
True Canadians where assaulted and arrested standing up for their beliefs and rights. These folks are fully supporting a terrorist organization and the cops are giving them coffee! Canada is doomed.
One does not call for ceasefire while waving the flag of only one side.
Try showing up to a pro-palestine rally with an Israeli flag and see how peaceful the crowd is.
Are you concerned with Freelands bootlickers falsely arresting a journalist ?
I’m fed up the government allowing people to bring their problems to Canada. NO MORE PLEASE. DO SOMETHING!
Cultural enrichment
When an act of protest is considered bad enough the the Emergency Act is thrown upon one group but another group gets a pat on the back and coffee is wrong.
Wake up Canada…..disruption of everything……enforce your laws, ,,what are you waiting for….
Free Palestine!
Free Palestine ELECTION.
The chickens have come home to roost. They aggessively arrest the Rebel News reporter David Mendes, for asking Freeland questions, saying he pushed that beta cop. But you can shut down events, infrastructure and call for violence if you’re from the currently protected groups. And they’re protected not because the government cares, it suits their designs. The government , giant corporations and media are basically one entity, and need to be separated and restructured or this country will become China
No one gave us coffee on the Convoy protest and we didn’t block anything.
Looks more like palastine is occupying canada.
Some things is not right, it's like they are trying to cause devision and the population of Canada is not Killing any one in the Gaza and further more In GAZA There are 20% Christian and Catholic and there is Churches and Christian Hospital getting bombed too and Both Muslims and Christian are being killed there too and even before the war the Muslims and Christian and Catholic were all getting along together trading working together in the hospitals Etc so it does not make sense why would they be causing street Closers it not doing nothing but making the people get mad at them meanwhile they know the almost every single person in Canada is against What is happening in Gaza watching children getting Killed, So who are they who is the ones making the decision to do that just like about 10 so called Palestinen protesters went to Nathan Phillips square skating rink literally harrassing the skaters, it doesn't not make sense and the main person like running the show and at the top of her lungs with a loud speaker was yelling at two elderly people the man she yells at him don't touch her he was doing nothing so who are they, obviously there is some that believe in the cuase there, are just following the others it's like the same group goes place to place meanwhile the people they are causing problems with like blocking the streets every single one is against the killing of children and families in the GAZA, So what purpose does that do, certain individuals are getting paid to cause devision among getting the general population mad at Muslims meanwhile it's not even Muslims doing nothing it's paid individuals to make and cause division among each other, only dictators do that,
Would it be approached differently if they were TRUCK DRIVERS ??
We’re living in a Genocide time so Yes we need protest ……..Free Free Palestine ??
No wonder fake western democracy has lost its credibility ??
They start to get too excited and disrespectful.
POWER to the PEOPLE
I hate when any immigrant group brings their hatred here.
Love Israel ??
