Friends of Simon Wiesenthal Center (FSWC) denounces the ongoing demonstrations led by hate groups that have been taking place in Edmonton.

According to the Toronto Star, these demonstrations have become common in different parts of the city, where participants chant racist and other hateful slogans. In a demonstration on March 30, a man was caught shouting "we must secure our existence and a future for white children!"

"Not only is racism being promoted on city streets, but there have also been reports of violence and threats. Community members must remain vigilant and report any instances of hate speech and violence to police," said FSWC President and CEO Avi Benlolo.
