“I strongly condemn the actions of those responsible for the vandalism and violence we’ve seen on our streets today.
There is no need for it. There is no excuse for it. It is not the Ontario way.
Peaceful protest has always been part of the bedrock of our democracy. The vast majority of today’s demonstrators have been peaceful and responsible. However, willful, mindless destruction and violence have no place in our province. I appeal to all involved to allow calm to prevail.
I want to thank our police officers for upholding the rule of law and keeping our community safe.
On behalf of Ontarians, I urge all protesters to let their voices be heard through peaceful means.”
