TORONTO—The “yellow vest” protests that have raged in France for weeks and even expanded to neighboring European countries have now made their way to the other side of the Atlantic, with similar-themed rallies—albeit much smaller in size—held recently in several cities across Canada.
On Dec. 15, protesters in yellow fluorescent vests held events in Toronto; Calgary, Alberta; Edmonton, Alberta; Winnipeg, Manitoba; Regina, Saskatchewan; and other cities to protest issues such as a carbon tax, Canada’s signing of the U.N. global migration pact, and delays in pipeline construction.
