Parents are being met with angry opposition from union funded activists, many of which took the day off work to counter protest the parents and children.

TORONTO
While numbers are difficult to gauge in person, it seemed at least 10,000 protesters showed up to Queens Park.

When the protesters marched around Queens Park, the trantifa counter protesters had stolen their protest spot at the heart of the park.
Subsequently, an unhinged trantifa protester was running circles around the park while carrying a long rod. Police spotted the potential weapon and tackled the counter protester, handcuffing him.
Same trantifa protester just got tackled by police while running and screaming about genocide and holding a long rod of some sort.

I wonder if she recognizes that their own tactics to try and shut down our speech is very fash-like. 😂😂 pic.twitter.com/SB7XpK0E4c
