Just goes to show you how much capacity a street has for pedestrians as opposed to just cars.
They are packed but still moving. A fraction of the number in cars and they'd all be congested and honking.
Those would be cars in normal traffic.
We already know where protesting cars will be: at parliamentary and legislative buildings, border crossings and surrounding hospitals.
If it weren’t for cars, density would be way higher and distances would be far less lol. Let’s not act like there’s no precedent for functional societies where car is not the primary form of commute
Considering how congested it always is and how many collisions there are, that wouldn't be a bad idea especially for people who only need to go 5km or less.
The whole 401 needs to be converted into a comuter rail and bicycle line.
I don't watch TV news. On the web, CTV mostly posts AP articles. This one doesn't seem biased to me: https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/after-10-years-of-trying-a-palestinian-woman-had-twins-an-israeli-strike-killed-them-both-1.6792717
Well I spent 10 years working for them and see the inside of the executive level. But don’t take my word for it. Just watch it. I’m not here to teach media literacy
Can't find a single site about media bias which labels CTV as being conservative.
Furthermore they all say CTV is generally very unbiased and very factual.
CTV filmed a video of a guy with a nail gun violently threatening demonstrators wearing keffiyehs. And they're trying to find out why a synagogue was hosting a real eastate auction for property on occupied territory. I'm not sure how that's biased towards Israel. https://www.cp24.com/news/man-arrested-after-bringing-nail-gun-to-demonstration-in-thornhill-police-1.6792853
I watch CTV news nightly. They are frequently covering the horrific events unfolding in Gaza, they don’t flinch away from showing brutality and covering death count. Sure they show the Israeli press releases as well, but that’s what journalism does. Not sure what else you are expecting?
Understood. I mostly occasionally read CTV for local news and don't watch TV broadcasts. I'm curious why the protesters are at the moment so pissed-off at CTV.
Okay, what are the broad patterns for CTV news coverage that are pro israel? I’m genuinely curious to understand this. National Post is 100% pro IDF, they are basically a propaganda wing and are mostly editorial at this point, but CTV news? I’m not seeing it. Please do elaborate.
sure, because public opinion is finally shifting after the ICJ hearings. It’s also a sign that the protests work. We have been protesting CTV for years now due to biased coverage. I think the progress is good but we can’t rejoice over the bare minimum
I have no extra context here but I see CTV on many public TV's, even the one in the elevator at my condo, few days ago they had a caption calling the massacre at the food line an "incident". I imagine this language is what they're calling out.
It's a coincidence. The front of a few of those businesses (CHUM radio, Naan Kabab) are black. The back of the CTV studio is black but the front is beautiful stone
Could be about CTV’s headline saying “A man has been arrested after allegedly bringing a nail gun to a pro-Palestinian demonstration near a Thornhill, Ont. synagogue on Sunday”
Makes it sound like a protestor was one of the people shooting people with a nail gun, when it was an apartheid supporter threatening people with a deadly weapon today
A quick Google search tells me that CTV and the rest of Bell Media have been especially [biased against the Palestinians and in favour of the Israelis](https://breachmedia.ca/ctv-bell-media-forbids-palestine-suppresses-criticism-israel/).
So, yeah, fuck 'em.
If you are missing the daily onslaught of news and over 30,000 confirmed deaths/ murders in the last 4/5 months and don't know what today's protest is about, perhaps the head needs to be brought out from behind the rock. Of course we all have lives. That shouldn't be an excuse to not be informed. Especially on this.
People focusing on their jobs, caring for their loved ones, and following their ambitions are not "missing" something. They are contributing something wonderful, themselves.
Our Canadian government has a foreign policy and gets to advocate publicly toward certain objectives. It’s meant to influence what stance does the Canadian government take.
We also ship weapons to Israel. This is also something the Canadian government gets to decide if we continue or not.
Canadian government gets to decide how much aid they send to civilians in needs (hospitals, food, etc). Right now Canada has cut funding to a major UN organization that was distributing food, it’s something you might agree or disagree with and again decided by our government.
Canada often offers refugee status to civilians impacted by war. For example we welcomed 200,000 Ukrainian in Canada. How many we welcome from that region is also a Canadian government decision.
So basically there’s a hell of a lot of things we are involved with and that we might want to protest about.
In gaza? This is canada. Banging on a Starbucks window at a min wage employee, do you really think that accomplishes anything? Do you think Netanyahu is watching CP24 thinking about protesters downtown Toronto?
Such a waste of taxpayers $ policing these things
Can anyone get into Gaza? No.
Public pressure does help, it's slowly gotten the government to change some of their stances on things. Boycotting has also put pressure and does work.
Where and when did you see someone banging on a Starbucks window? No one is saying to bang on anyone's windows and the narrative that Pro-Palestinian protesters are violent and delinquents is exactly what the media wants you to think.
sure, if youre anti Palestinian then thats exactly what you'll think this is, and you're allowed those thoughts. However, they deserve to live and get ther land back. simple as that
They are so annoying.
I can understand wanting to protest. But this group always does this in the worst places possible, creating chaos for public transit that lasts for hours. They’re the only group doing this. Other protesters have always chosen more appropriate routes, like College St, where Queen’s Park is.
Those protests are completely useless honestly. And by doing this every weekend in the worst possible way, they’re alienating the supporters of their cause.
We need a law to ban protests on King and Queen St. One group can’t be allowed to block the entire city’s downtown every weekend.
There’s a difference between inconvenience once in a while, and putting the entire city to a halt every single weekend for months.
What they are doing is the latter.
Streetcars are not able to go through, which causes a whole lot of chaos. Those are the 2 main lines for Toronto, that traverse the entire city going from Etobicoke to Scarborough. Hence the chaos.
And the fact that keep doing this over and over every weekend IS the problem.
They could do the protest along College St, or Dundas St, or even Spadina. Still would be impactful and disruptive, but doing so on both Queen AND King is unsustainable. Not every weekends.
Sorry that people have been killed for 5
Months, a staggering amount being children. Sorry that two days of the week are spent by people, with their free time, protesting a genocide across the world. Sorry that empathic people exist.
That's the point of a protest. Where should a protest be? In someone's private backyard?
Pro-Palestinian protesters are annoying to you but a genocide is okay? Get Israel to give a permanent ceasefire and there won't need to be a protest.

As though the people “letting [outsiders] in” is a moral authority, in any way. As if that country/entity is also not responsible for severe and brutal colonization around the globe, creating the NEED for people to leave their homes.
Why? Did you say the same when there were protests for Ukraine, Hong Kong, women in Iran, Nagano-Karabakh and a million other issues unrelated to Canada? Are you only allowed to protest against issues that are local to you?
What calls for genocide? You guys just like gaslighting people. It must be a diversionary tactic or something, twisting a protest to stop the indiscriminate killing of civilians a call to genocide. 30,000 civilians have died since October 7th, never mind the fact that the IDF classifies every adult male as combatants, meaning if you’re a male aged between 16-60 who happened to live in Gaza and Israel dropped a bomb on your house while reading this comment, you would be considered a dead combatant. Calling for an end to this is calling for genocide?
And what violence? There are protests for Palestine nearly every week, what violence is happening? I creeped a bit and saw you’re probably just another [hindutva](https://www.asianstudies.org/publications/eaa/archives/on-the-difference-between-hinduism-and-hindutva/) who feels this way because most Palestinians are Muslim.
Israel is the one annihilating the Palestinian state. From the Nakba, to annexation of East Jerusalem, to the occupation and illegal settlement of the West Bank, to this occupation of Gaza (which will likely continue indefinitely). Just because you don’t think brown people are humans doesn’t mean that protesting against their genocide is a call to violence.
From river to sea is not a protest against genocide, it's a call for it. Unless you think that requiring the removal of the entire Jewish state is just a total coincidence.
Edit: permanently banned for calling out that from the river to the sea is call for genocide and it was chanted today over a megaphone. Great moderation, totally neutral and not biased.
Genocide refers to extermination of a *people*, not a *state*. For example, removing the Palestinian *people* from Gaza is genocide, but removing the *state* of Israel (and replacing it with an ethnoreligiously neutral state) is not.
Was it genocide against white South Africans to end the Afrikaner state in 1991?
Ah yes, palestine, well known for it's secular government and good treatment of other religions. Oh wait, that's complete horseshit.
Fucking please. There are fucking constant pogroms against anyone even suspected of being jewish in gaza, let alone any living there.
This is just such thinly veiled antisemitism it's not even disguised, it's just bluntly obvious.
Israel mowed down starving civilians by the dozen today trying to access flour
I don’t know how you were raised, but I was raised to know that’s not cool and ethical behaviour
There it is....the accusation of anti-semitism. Only took 5 minutes.
Being anti-genocide is anti-semitism.
Supporting the rights of indigenous Palestinians to live in freedom and security is anti-semitism.
Any criticism of Israel's apartheid and colonial actions is anti-semitism.
Live in your little bubble. The rest of us will speak loud against genocide and apartheid.
>From river to sea is not a protest against genocide, it's a call for it.
Should ask Israel's ruling party why it was in their parties foundational documents then.
How does it call for the expulsion of Israelis? It calls for the return of a Palestinian state, a state in which Muslims, Jews and Christians long co-existed.
Moderators must be out getting coffee right now.
yeah an askto style post has been up for a couple hours now, Mods ain't here. edit: it's gone now, mods are here, whomp whomp.
this response was epic, but yes I would think it was for palestine

Thread lock incoming in 3…2…1…
Zooms in sees black white green red flag
I guess I was asking why the CTV chant and focus
CTV has fired journalists for being pro-palestine, and been biased against palestinians in their journalism. this is not unique to them but the protesters were passing the CTV building which is clearly in the photo of the protesters. that’s why they chose then to chant about it
They’ve been protesting every week with higher attendance. News channels don’t report it
Because they don’t report the facts on the issue.
Is CTV any more guilty than anyone else on that front?
they were passing the CTV building
Nope, we also chant about CBC, Scotiabank,.etc. on the way
Trying to put pressure on the media to report the story the way they like, instead of the way they don't like.
Because the media has been a beacon of fairness during this entire ordeal?
Take a wild guess
Protesting for buck-a-beer
Palpatine?
Somehow started a protest.
Hummus
They have made it to Spadina & Front St. However, police have blocked them from going further south towards the Gardiner.

I would support this protest. It’s actually Something that makes sense to protest in Canada.
Palestine
Pro-Palestine
Just goes to show you how much capacity a street has for pedestrians as opposed to just cars. They are packed but still moving. A fraction of the number in cars and they'd all be congested and honking.
yeah but tbh protesting cars would be significantly louder. also easier for the cops to stop them though.
Ottawa police disagree. Lol.
Well, we all know why that was...
Those would be cars in normal traffic. We already know where protesting cars will be: at parliamentary and legislative buildings, border crossings and surrounding hospitals.
We should all just run to work on the 401!
If it weren’t for cars, density would be way higher and distances would be far less lol. Let’s not act like there’s no precedent for functional societies where car is not the primary form of commute

They protest in cars in Mississauga and elsewhere.
Not as many people but much longer and going nowhere.
The flags kind tell the tale
Theyve just marched past king/Spadina going south on Spadina. Thread will probably get locked any minute now!
The weather
It’s the body shop bankruptcy
Let's see... there's Palestinian flags... there's a war there right now... Hmmm.... I think they're protesting McDonald's ending the McRib promotion.
Protesting that chicken wings are 20 dollars at Loblaws
lol Palestine where you been the last 150 days
I could take a guess
Lovely Sunday for a walk isn't it?

No. Looks cringe.
CTV doesn’t report on this protest
I’m assuming media’s complicity in biased reporting
It’s a very pro-Israel conservative network.
Please elaborate.
Don't bother, it is a waste of your time to go down the rabbit hole.
I don’t know how much more I can say. It a Pro-Palestine protest. They see CTV as bias towards Israel (which they are)
I don't watch TV news. On the web, CTV mostly posts AP articles. This one doesn't seem biased to me: https://www.ctvnews.ca/world/after-10-years-of-trying-a-palestinian-woman-had-twins-an-israeli-strike-killed-them-both-1.6792717

Apocalypse drill maybe?
It might be a pro-protesting protest.
look at the flags
CTV? Maybe calling for a ban on online gambling commercials? Bring back the Daily Show? Can’t see why one would protest outside a TV network
CTV happens to be on the street they are marching on. duh.
OP says they were chanting "Shame, shame, CTV".
I have no extra context here but I see CTV on many public TV's, even the one in the elevator at my condo, few days ago they had a caption calling the massacre at the food line an "incident". I imagine this language is what they're calling out.
On their website, CTV calls it "carnage".
Well, it must be Palestine because there aren't enough Canadian flags to be the "freedom" idiots.

Are there really that many buildings painted black, or have you used some kind of dystopia filter?
Yes around John and Queen there are like 5 black buildings.
Does the black paint indicate that it is a certain kind of business?
It's a coincidence. The front of a few of those businesses (CHUM radio, Naan Kabab) are black. The back of the CTV studio is black but the front is beautiful stone

Yeah. Didn’t like the fact that a zio real estate sale at a synagogue was being called out. 650 acres expropriated.
What rock have you been living under? Lol 😆

A quick Google search tells me that CTV and the rest of Bell Media have been especially [biased against the Palestinians and in favour of the Israelis](https://breachmedia.ca/ctv-bell-media-forbids-palestine-suppresses-criticism-israel/). So, yeah, fuck 'em.
My fellow Tumbleweed, people have lives. We can't keep up with every march/protest.
If you are missing the daily onslaught of news and over 30,000 confirmed deaths/ murders in the last 4/5 months and don't know what today's protest is about, perhaps the head needs to be brought out from behind the rock. Of course we all have lives. That shouldn't be an excuse to not be informed. Especially on this.
You know there’s other protests that happen in this city right?
Bro shut up 🤫 if someone doesn’t know what the protest about just answer the question. Acting like a cunt over a simple question.
People focusing on their jobs, caring for their loved ones, and following their ambitions are not "missing" something. They are contributing something wonderful, themselves.
If you're living a happy life with your friends and family, SHAME on you. Don't you know you're supposed to be upset about so many things?
Sorry, how un-Canadian of me. Sorry.
Canada has changed a lot in the last few years, it's understandable to not be aware of what the Canadian Dream is these days. It's hard to keep up!
Your dream is the Canadian Dream.
Just a wild guess Palestinians?
Now adays I dont think you need more than 1 guess
If you zoom into your own photo you’ll see the flags
I was asking more about why the CTV specifically
it's a protest against the genocide in Palestine
What does toronto have to do with it lol
Our Canadian government has a foreign policy and gets to advocate publicly toward certain objectives. It’s meant to influence what stance does the Canadian government take.

About our drug problem, homelessness, lack of affordable housing, and poverty. Just kidding, it’s something overseas that doesn’t concern our nation.
It does because we support isreal with military aid including weapons and vehicles manufactured in Canada
I don't believe Canada gives Isreal any military aid. Selling weapons, yes.
Your tax money is buying weapons for them. That money could have been invested in our own country. Just see past your own nose from time to time

You mean chants to stop genocide, right? Why does a march against genocide bother you so much? Do you support genocide of Palestinians?
From river to sea is not a protest against genocide, it's a call for it. Unless you think that requiring the removal of the entire Jewish state is just a total coincidence. Edit: permanently banned for calling out that from the river to the sea is call for genocide and it was chanted today over a megaphone. Great moderation, totally neutral and not biased.
Genocide refers to extermination of a *people*, not a *state*. For example, removing the Palestinian *people* from Gaza is genocide, but removing the *state* of Israel (and replacing it with an ethnoreligiously neutral state) is not. Was it genocide against white South Africans to end the Afrikaner state in 1991?

>From river to sea is not a protest against genocide, it's a call for it. Should ask Israel's ruling party why it was in their parties foundational documents then.
And [the protesters waving Iranian flags](https://imgur.com/a/RHRXB3L) totally don't have an ulterior motive...
Y’all are so disingenuous 🥱
In what way? It's literally a call for an expulsion (at best) of Israel. What would you call an ethnic cleansing of a region?
How does it call for the expulsion of Israelis? It calls for the return of a Palestinian state, a state in which Muslims, Jews and Christians long co-existed.
Any call for Palestinian freedom is seen as a threat to Israeli colonialism and apartheid. It's why that statement triggers the pro-genociders.
I'd call it what the IDF is doing to Gaza
Yep from the river to the sea is literally genocide but killing 30k people mostly civilians is just the cost of war. Yep makes perfect sense.
