The demonstration in Ottawa was organized by groups that identify themselves as #1MillionMarch4Children and Hands Off Our Kids.
On the Hill, it was the “1 Million for Children March” — a conservative movement that says it “advocates for the well-being of children everywhere.”Countering them was a collective of about double the number of rainbow-flag-waving supporters of trans rights, who marched to the Hill after a rally at the Supreme Court of Canada.
“We wanted to show our solidarity and support that we can protect each other and support each other.”Photo by Tony CaldwellTwo of the counter-protesters, Rebecca, 37, and Sarah, 39, who asked that their last names not be used, said it was disturbing to read the signs of the anti-trans side, many of which invoked religious beliefs.
Community Solidarity Ottawa, which names the Ottawa District Labour Council, Capital Pride, Horizon Ottawa and other unions and community groups as allies, called on local activists “to prepare for counter-protests by joining forces with community partners and unions to ensure safety.” “It’s against humanity. They give kids rights to change their gender, but they are too young to understand,” said Algabron, a mother whose children are grown. “They are taking our rights and they are too young to make this decision. If they need to change their gender in the future, OK, but why now? They’re kids.”Article content
