When: August 8th, 12pm
Where: Queen's Park

On August 8th, a group called canada first, led by Joe Anidjar, will be protesting at Queen's Park. This group has shown up in Toronto repeatedly over the last few years to spew white nationalism, white and christian supremacy, covid denialism and to demand that racialized immigrants be deported, but we and many others have stopped them, embarrassed them and sent them packing multiple times before. We are gathering to do this again, and to show Joe that this type of racism is not allowed here.
