I apologize. I overstepped and will correct my previous comment with a note.
I do find it suspect that this all went down at the Fairmont Chateau Laurier which is a hotel most well known for hosting foreign dignitaries and heads of state, as well as more recently large numbers of police brought in from around the country.
This single nazi flag incident has been repeated by the government and it's proponent so many times now to paint this entire movement as racist which is do feel is an unfair characterization of the protesters, most of whom were simply Canadians who felt the need to be heard.
- rescripting 5y agoThey’re walking up the pedestrian walkway that wraps around the outside of the Chateau Laurier from Major’s Hill Park to Wellington, the street Parliament is on. You don’t need to be staying at the hotel, or even visiting the hotel to use it. Thousands of pedestrians, including many tourists coming from other hotels downtown, use that walkway every day to access Wellington and the Parliament. It’s also a great vantage point to be seen from the bridge spanning the canal, where I assume this photo was taken. So no, this did not “all go down at the Chateau Laurier”, it went down outside it, on a heavily trafficked public walkway.
