Politicians are denouncing the flying of Hamas flags in the streets of Toronto at a recent protest over the weekend.

“Looking for a letter signed by 33 MPs denouncing openly flying the flag of a banned terrorist organization in the streets of Toronto,” Melissa Lantsman, deputy leader of the Conservative Party (CPC), said in a post on X on Oct. 29, referencing an earlier letter signed by 33 MPs calling for a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas war. “It can even be a tweet saying how disgusting and vile this is. It can offer support to a community frightened by this.”
