Trudeau calls violence in Montreal 'appalling' as NATO protest continues [View all]

https://www.ctvnews.ca/politics/joly-blair-condemn-anti-nato-protest-in-montreal-that-saw-fires-smashed-windows-1.7121045

Anti-NATO protesters gathered again in Montreal on Saturday to demand Canada withdraw from the alliance, a day after a demonstration organized by different groups resulted in arrests, burned cars and shattered windows.

Politicians in the prime minister's cabinet, opposition parties as well as Quebec leaders have called the violence during Friday's anti-NATO demonstration acts of antisemitism, but protesters deny the claim, saying they demonstrated against the "complicity" of NATO member countries in a war that has killed thousands of Palestinians.


The best thing is these dumb shits are using Russian propaganda. Some of their posters include a very large boot stepping on “NATO.”
