There were tens of thousands of people who protested on Friday.  If you stood in one place, it would’ve taken more than hour for the whole march to pass by.   The crowd was predominantly younger – students, or kids with their parents.  There was a lot of community spirit and togetherness as people walked the circuit from Queens Park, across Wellesley, down Bay to Queen, and then up University to return to Queens Park.  Almost all of the signs were home made.
