Yellow and blue flags and shouts of "Slava Ukraini" filled the streets of downtown Toronto on Friday evening as thousands gathered to show support for Ukraine on the one-year anniversary of Russia's invasion.
"The one-year anniversary of Russia's war on Ukraine is a sombre reminder of the need for urgent action to resolve this ongoing crisis," march's organizer Marc Shwec said in a press release. "We cannot afford to allow this conflict to continue with the ongoing humanitarian and security risks it poses."
"I am consistently taken by his courage and his resilience. He had stared down Putin's threats since before the invasion. He has rallied support from around the world. He is giving hope to his people," Trudeau said. In his remarks, Ford praised the determination of the Ukrainian people over the last year, calling it "truly inspirational."
"It's been a year of most remarkable resistance that the world history knows. It's been a resistance of a country that was not prepared for the full-scale war with one of the biggest aggressors -- military aggressors -- and military-equipped countries in the world. But this country resisted and stayed strong," Khometa said.
The ceremony was attended by Deputy Mayor Jennifer McKelvie as well as the Consul General of Ukraine in Toronto Oleksandr Shevchenko and Ukrainian Canadian Congress President Petro Schturyn.
Going to go down town to spray paint the cardboard signs of our city’s homeless blue and yellow.
I Stand for Ukraine to self destruct! Most corrupt country in the west!
Does the pm have any idea how strong Russia actually is? Does the pm know ther Russia has more nukes than any other country in the world?
fcuk Ukraine..they are occupying Russian lands..'annexed' form them like USA annexed Hawaii
Clown Trudeau
Should try and repair Canada first. Obviously Trudeaus interests are over there. Very sad really.
That’s exactly what Zelenskyy wants to hear. Until Canada is bankrupt. Oh wait we already are. It’s time for Trudeau to go.
U know they welcome people to go over and fight if anyone wants to do more then send thoughts and prayers.
here is your UKR freedom that started it all in 2014:
Trudeau is so full of $hit.
But we don't stand for Palestinians
Only if you did the same for the wars in the Middle East . Politics is a nasty game. “They got money to fund the wars but not feed the poor”
Ukraine is fighting for world peace? 🤔 Funding Ukraine and this war will not result in peace. It will start WWIII. Keep thinking your helping, the day will come when you realize what you have contributed to. Negotiate Peace. Stop funding war.
Why does he say we? Nobody asked me!! I don’t support American proxy wars like Junior does!!!!
Nope...no UkraineNazis
I refuse to stand with Ukraine
Let’s just moral support without all the billions of dollars.
Ukraine isn't a Canadian province enough already
Stand with em sure, stop fuckin giving billions.
Interesting how you purposely omit the rally was also attended by the leader of the Fed opposition. Easy to see how the rabbit hole of conspiracy develops.
If Trudeau supports something, it's likely illegal and/or not in Canada's best interests
Yeh support the Murican created CIA asset Ziolensky
Translation: infinitely
A bombshell investigation by Global News' Sam Cooper has revealed that Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's aides were briefed on a Liberal candidate Han Dong's alleged involvement in Chinese election interference before the 2019 election took place.
Despite calls from the Canadian Security Intelligence Service to rescind Dong's nomination, Trudeau's staff decided to let him run. He won, and now represents Don Valley North in Parliament.
we live in a country of zombies
Peace will only come through real negotiations or the death of every last Ukrainian. Only an evil madman would choose the latter.
Send doug ford to ukraine. He can help there. Clearly he cares more for Ukraine than ontario.
Hopefully Russia nukes it soon saves Canada money.
Stand with neo nazis no thank you!!!!
no f's given since day 1
So are u expecting that Russia will run out of weapons? Is that how you plan to establish peace? You know Russia has Nuclear Bombs right? Is that your plan to bring back peace? When 2 kids fight in a class even the teacher intervenes and asks what their problem is with each other
While Canada crumbles?
For those that can’t see what is going on and how this started….
Toronto will be probably hit by nukes from Russia... Will dictador wanna be trudeau save you?...
Hard pass.
After seeing how they treated black ppl over there i don’t want to support Ukraine
Even if it Kills Cdns and drives them into poverty and eventually suicide. Tired of this bullshit.
Do we have enough money in the bank ? Our tax dollars seem to be burning a hole in your pocket.
Han Dong
Im literally shaking right now watching this attack on democracy from a bunch of terrorist nazi's.
Hey the roads are blocked and they are noisy. Freeze the money and trample them!!!
Ukrainians are the most selfish, unrighteous people ever
Good job guys.
Wow. What happened to allegiance to our country first? Billions going to Ukraine w no effort for peace talk or negotiations. Money laundering at its finest
Once again Trudeau shows that the well-being of Canadians comes second to his personal globalist agenda. Disgusting but expected, the only people worse are those that enable him to rob Canadians & cause Canada harm.
send them to fight for Ukraine since they like to march
Stand with the people of Canada instead of ordering the Emergencies Act against them.
Take care of Canadians first you never stood with anyone unless it was beneficial to you!! Get lost you 🤡
Nato is killing Ukrainians
Stand with Ukraine = stand with Nazis.
Of course he stands with them.
Stand with Ukraine. Meanwhile, the United States AND Canada keep funding this war to continue.
Canada is lost, next election will be dominated by immigrant votes, and guess who will win.
Trudeau needs to stop this b*llshit of sending all our money to Ukraine.
Ha ... biolabs...child trafficking...
Don’t you people get it? Supporting Ukraine = Supporting NAZIS
Okay, how about standing for lower prices at Loblaws and lower inflation/housing prices.
Trudeau is the president of Ukaraine
Are you spending your dads money?
The winners in this war are the weapons manufacturers and our politicians. The losers are the Ukraine and the Canadian taxpayers
