Major Quebec unions join demonstration in support of Palestinians

Unions protest in support of Palestine Two of Quebec’s largest unions joined a demonstration in Montreal in support of Palestine.

Two of Quebec's largest unions joined a demonstration in downtown Montreal in the snow on Saturday in support of the Palestinian people.

The march was largely focused on a demand for an Israeli ceasefire in Gaza.

While previous demonstrations in Montreal were mostly organized by active pro-Palestine organizations and their supporters, Saturday's event was much wider in scope.

The focus on Saturday was providing food and supplies to a starving population in Gaza and an immediate ceasefire from the state of Israel coupled with a long-term peace plan.

The FTQ and CSN unions joined members of Quebec Solidaire and other groups in a march that began in Dorchester Square.
