Toronto Councillor Brad Bradford is urging the city to take legal action to prevent a scheduled Al-Quds Day protest at the U.S. consulate in the downtown core on March 14, just days after the site was targeted by gunfire.

“I am calling for the City of Toronto to file an injunction to stop Al-Quds Day planned for this weekend,” Bradford said in a video posted to social media where he described the annual event as a “platform for antisemitic hate and extremist rhetoric.”
