Mayor Olivia Chow has no plans to condemn some city councillors for supporting Torontonians’ right to protest following a pro-Palestinian demonstration that included clashes with police officers.
”Whether they are councillors, a deputy mayor or ordinary citizens, they have the right, under the Charter of Freedoms, to assemble, to have their voice heard,” Chow told reporters Monday, responding to a question about the police officers’ union demand that she criticize the councillors’ actions.
