Protesters with clashing ideals faced off in front of City Hall on Saturday afternoon, with what began as a peaceful anti-racism demonstration escalating to violence. "We are not going to tolerate Islamophobia, we're not going to tolerate white supremacy, and we're not going to tolerate fascism on the streets of Toronto," she said. Fighting began among those gathered and one of the Soldiers of Odin protestors was punched in the face. At least five people at the scene were apprehended by police but it's not clear how many were arrested or released. Toronto police have not confirmed how many people may have been arrested or charged despite repeated requests for comment from CBC Toronto.
