#1MillionMarchforChildren Rally (Official for most cities, but not Ottawa)

“One is going to raise a swastika The other is doing barricades Then you have the antifa, controlled op, and LGBTQ counter protestes [sic] Also the convoy people were supposed to occupy the financial district in Toronto and arrest people in Ottawa as citizens” - lead organizer Dana Metcalfe

Why are there two official series of rallies?

Second-in-command Dana Metcalfe has canceled the official organization’s involvement in two rallies, including the initial rally in Ottawa organized by first-in-command Kamel. According to insiders, this decision was made in part because of disagreements on whether or not to accept the LGB parts of LGBTQ+ in the movement, with friction revolving around Metcalfe’s support of Gays Against Grooming/Gays Against Groomers. In organizing chats leaked to CSO, Metcalfe said, “We are inclusive of the LGB and no politics Those are the two major differences”.
