TORONTO — From Vancouver to Halifax, crowds of people rallied in cities across Canada on Saturday to protest a policy that separated families who were caught crossing the U.S.-Mexico border.
Although U.S. President Donald Trump recently ordered that families no longer be separated, officials estimate there are still more than 2,000 children who have not been reunited with their loved ones.
“When you see something happening that is wrong, you have a moral obligation to do something about it and show that it won’t be tolerated,” said Alexandra Vaz, one of the organizers of a rally outside the American Consulate in Toronto.
As protesters across Canada chanted, their message was clear: keep families together.
