‘When justice fails, block the rails, shut Canada down,’ protesters chanted at Queen’s Park
More than 1,000 thousand people marched through downtown Toronto streets on Monday to show support for Wet’suwet’en hereditary chiefs in their fight against a pipeline project in northern B.C.
The protesters walked more than four kilometres from Christie Pits Park to Queen’s Park, carrying placards, singing, chanting slogans, and drumming.
They stopped at certain well-known intersections downtown to make sure their message was heard.
“When justice fails, block the rails, shut Canada down,” they chanted at Queen’s Park.
The march went from Bloor Street West and Christie Street, along Bloor Street downtown, then south on Bay Street to College Street, then west to University Avenue.
The protesters carried placards that read: “No Consent No Pipeline” and “Protect Land Defenders.”
