Pro-Palestine demonstrators in Toronto appear to be intensifying their efforts to disrupt government officials’ events, escalating to the extent that some protesters are getting physical with attendees or passersby.

A recent event that was to be attended by Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his fellow G7 leader, Italian Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni, was cancelled because of one such protest.
