This is the best summary I could come up with:

This weekend, Foreign Affairs Minister Mélanie Joly told a briefing that Israel’s air strikes in response to Hamas’s attack, coupled with its blockade of Gaza’s supplies of food, water, fuel and medicine, have created a humanitarian disaster.

The morning march in Ottawa was organized by two local Palestinian groups to call for an end to Israel’s bombing of Gaza and the country’s siege of the tiny territory.

“Western governments have come out with unequivocal support for the state of Israel without at all criticizing their actions against the Palestinians,” said Bassem Shama, who showed up to Parliament Hill on Sunday with his wife and two children.

The later event was billed by organizers as a peace rally and, once on the Hill, the group clapped and sang Am Yisrael Chai – meaning the people of Israel live.

During the pro-Israel demonstration, officers with the Parliamentary Protective Service surrounded two pro-Palestinian protesters wearing keffiyeh scarves and asked them to leave the Hill or they would be arrested.

A day earlier in Montreal, hundreds of protesters marched to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s constituency office to call on him to denounce an expected ground incursion into northern Gaza by the Israeli army.
