The Toronto District School Board is holding a special meeting on Wednesday evening to discuss a field trip to a protest in support of an Indigenous community last week. According to videos on social media, pro-Palestinian slogans were chanted at the protest.

    Oh totally, the snafu here was they were prepared to go to an indigenous protest. Instead they went to a Palestinian protest, while dressed in blue.

      Where did you get that?

      The Grassy Narrows River Run march last week was held to pressure the government to address decades-long mercury contamination in Grassy Narrows First Nation since a paper mill in Dryden, Ont., dumped 9,000 kilograms of the substance into the river systems in the 1960s.

      Videos on social media showed some march participants chanting pro-Palestinian slogans, which prompted Ford earlier this week to call it a “Palestinian rally” and complain that teachers were trying to indoctrinate children.

      Sounds to me more like they went to the correct protest. There were just other protestors there who were chanting Pro-Palestine messages. Doesn’t mean they went to a different or incorrect protest.

      Palestinians are indigenous people.
