Some groups demonstrating to stop what they call 'indoctrination,' others in support of LGBTQ community
Protests and counter-protests framed around gender and sexual education in schools are taking place across the Greater Toronto Area Wednesday, and many more are planned across the country.
The initial protests were organized under the banner of the "1 Million March for Children," with the group's website saying its intent is to "protect our children from indoctrination and sexualization."
Counter-protests were organized in response, with groups meeting at places like Queen's Park, where thousands gathered. Mom and former educator Jane Agosta told CBC News that she came out in support of her child, who is currently transitioning. She said she wanted to speak out against the "inflammatory messaging" of the provincial government, spurred on after Premier Doug Ford said at an event earlier this month that teachers were "indoctrinating" kids.

The Crown had outrageously demanded seven years in jail to make an example out of them.
Why?
To warn you.
To scare anyone who might ever peacefully defy the state again.
Even the judge admitted Chris Barber “came with the noblest of intent” and never called for violence.
But it didn’t matter. They needed bogeymen.
We remember all the others:
Maxime Bernier was handcuffed in Manitoba for speaking at a peaceful rally.
Mark Friesen was fined thousands for organizing gatherings.
Randy Hillier saw convoy charges stayed after years of harassment.
