Some colleagues in Toronto were telling me about how there was a demonstration there last Saturday morning pertaining to this situation.

The demonstrators lined up along the sidewalk of one of the main streets, and were loudly chanting and screaming for a few hours. Others drove by and honked their vehicles' horns.

This was apparently done along stretches of the street with large residential complexes nearby, too.

Based on the bystanders, residents, and other people that my colleagues talked to, they seemed to think that this disruption likely alienated far more people than it attracted to support this particular cause.

Same rhetoric used during the civil rights movement.
