The Torontonians rubbed the elbows with some Canadian celebrities in the Plaza Nathan Phillips on Saturday afternoon to reject the rates of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, and annexation threats.
Part of the bases “Cubits, Canada!” Campaign, Saturday’s demonstration was announced as a “peaceful show of unity, resistance and strength”, at a time when Trump is threats against Canada’s sovereignty and slapping tariffs on Canadian goods.
Opto, the songs of “The elbows up!” He echoed the crowd several times when the organizers and speakers of their own harvest celebrities took the stage.
The hockey phrase, which originated with the legendary player Gordie Howe, became a national meeting scream this month after Saturday Night Live While wearing a “Canada is not for sale” shirt. T
The episode of March 1 was issued only a few days before the United States opposed 25 percent tariffs on Canadian goods. Most of those rates were arrested later until April 2.
In response to the tariffs of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, Canadian actor Mike Myers may have begun a movement when pointing his elbow and giving birth to the words “elbows” during the appearances in Saturday Night Live. The phrase has noticed and has become a shout of meeting in the commercial war.
Saturday’s meeting in Toronto was the second concentration of “elbows” in Ontario this month after some 1,000 people joined in Parliament Hill a few weeks ago.
The mayor of Toronto, Olivia Chow, was invited to speak, along with celebrities of Canadians such as the Den Dragons star and the business leader Arlene Dickinson, the comedian Shaun Majumder and Jim Cuddy from Blue Rodeo, who made his new song inspired by the commercial war, We used to be the best friends.
The organizers of the UP, Canada, Rally at the beginning of this month in Ottawa, will continue with another at Nathan Phillips Square in Toronto on Saturday. Jim Cuddy, from Blue Rodeo, will make his new viral success, we used to be the best friends.
Majumder, who had been living in California for about 20 years, told CBC News before the demonstration that “he could not have chosen a better time in Canadian history to repatriate this country.”
Although this is only the second official “elbows” rally, Majumder said the idea is gaining steam throughout the country.
“Every time I publish something about a ‘elbows’ thing that is happening, people say: ‘Come to our city, come to our city, we want this to happen throughout the country,'” said Majumder.

The Peter Wall coorganizer says that he and other volunteers began “the elbows up, Canada!” As a way to unite Canadians and send a peaceful message.
“We are all feeling something at this time as a country,” Wall said. “The message is really worth defending Canada.”
But for the US government, Wall said that the demonstrations have a different message: “We are neighbors, we are friends, but we do not want to marry.”
The organizers want to maintain the demonstrations a non -partisan celebration of Canadian pride, Wall said. Provincial or federal politicians are not invited to speak, although everyone can attend.
But with a new prime minister in office and a federal election that is coming, many attendees told CBC Toronto that politics was the most important.
The sources tell CBC News a federal election that is summoned for April 28.
