Canadians protest PM Carney on migrants, climate, Palestine, indigenous rights
About 2,000 activists rallied and marched in Toronto in nationwide protests against Prime Minister Mark Carney’s policies on climate, the war in Gaza, and migrants’ and indigenous rights.
Protesters on Saturday criticized Bill C-5, the One Canadian Economy Act, passed in June, which fast-tracks major infrastructure projects deemed in the national interest. Critics say it bypasses environmental rules and indigenous rights.
They also opposed planned federal spending cuts alongside higher military spending, and called for a full arms embargo on the Israeli regime, according to CBC.
Demonstrators marched against Bill C-2, which CBC said was introduced after US pressure for stronger border security and would expand authorities’ access to personal data and ease canceling or pausing immigration applications.
The march was organized by a coalition of 14 groups. Similar protests were planned in Ottawa, Montreal, Vancouver, and elsewhere in Canada.
