Ontario court allows Al-Quds Day rally after Ford’s injunction fails

An Ontario Superior Court has allowed the Al-Quds Day rally in Toronto to proceed as planned on Saturday, despite Premier Doug Ford’s request for an injunction, citing concerns over hate and antisemitism. The rally, organized to support Palestine and advocate against war in Iran and Lebanon, is expected to attract around 3,000 attendees. Increased police presence will be implemented following recent tensions and violent incidents in the area, including shots fired at synagogues and the U.S. consulate.
