Venezuelans gathered in Montreal’s Faubourgs Park on Sunday to celebrate the capture of former President Nicolás Maduro by U.S. forces, hoping for a move toward democracy in Venezuela. Participants expressed mixed emotions about the violent circumstances of his arrest, with some condemning U.S. intervention as imperialistic. Many attendees, including those who fled Venezuela, expressed hope for a peaceful transition despite ongoing uncertainty. As nearly eight million Venezuelans have fled in recent years, the community remains divided about the future.
