TORONTO — Hundreds of protesters took to the streets in several cities across Canada on Saturday as momentum continued to build for the Idle No More movement.
The cause, which began last month, is in protest of the federal government’s omnibus Bill C-45, which First Nations groups claim eliminates treaty rights set out in the Constitution.
Waving flags and carrying placards, many of the demonstrators marched along roadways, highways and bridges prompting police to report several delays and closures.
