Ceremonies, events and protests are being held across Canada today to mark the anniversary of a Hamas attack on Israel that triggered the ongoing war in Gaza.
On the one-year anniversary, police in Canada's largest cities are stepping up protections, particularly around Jewish and Muslim places of worship and at events being held to commemorate Oct. 7. "This upcoming Monday, we will take over the streets of Montreal in solidarity with our brothers and sisters in Palestine," said the group Montreal4Palestine in an Instagram post advertising the event.
The group has been calling for McGill to end its investments in companies tied to the Israeli military and cut ties with Israeli institutions. Vancouver Police Chief Const. Adam Palmer says planned and unplanned protests across the city are posing a"significant" risk of disorder, and officers trained specifically for large-scale events are being deployed.
Rallies and protests were held around the world in the weekend leading up to Oct. 7, including massive events in European cities and marches and vigils in Canada.
