On November 11 a man emerged from the crows while people were gathered at Remembrance Day ceremony to honor
“If you can show up for this, you can show up and shut down your government to end the war in Ukraine” the man was heard yelling. He went on demanding Canada pull out of NATO and mention something about Israel and Saudi Arabia and asked people to stand up for Africa.
“You show up every year for this bull shit but you don’t stop the wars” he screams before officers show up to escort him away.

Mayor Marianne Alto responded by saying “I think it’s important for us to recognize that everyone has the right to protest. I do think that there are places that protests are perhaps more appropriate. I don’t think today was that day.”
