OTTAWA — Hundreds of people were gathering Sunday in cities across Canada to remember the victims of the Oct. 7 attack by Hamas on Israel and the ongoing war in Gaza.
In the nation's capital, a sea of Israeli flags could be seen draped over participants in front of Ottawa city hall, with Canadian flags waving alongside them as they called for the release of hostages still being held in Gaza.
Also set to speak was the mother of Montreal's Alexander Look, who was killed while attending a music festival in Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, in the attack by Hamas. An increased police presence could be seen along the route of the march, with some uniformed officers present around the crowd. "My message today is simple," said Ontario Solicitor General Michael Kerzner, who represents the north Toronto riding where the rally is held, and who is himself Jewish.
