Toronto police say they arrested eight people and 29 charges were laid at a demonstration downtown Saturday.

In a news release Sunday, the Toronto Police Service said its officers attended a demonstration at Nathan Phillips Square, located in the area of Queen Street W. and Bay Street, at around 2 p.m.

Dozens gathered at Nathan Phillips Square Saturday to protest mass immigration, prompting a counter-protest and a news conference with city councillors and opposing groups.

Ahead of the anti-immigration rally, Coun. Neethan Shan (Scarborough-Rouge Park) and Coun. Paula Fletcher (Toronto-Danforth) joined groups such as the National Council of Canadian Muslims and the Urban Alliance on Race Relations to denounce racism and xenophobia, the Toronto & York Region Labour Council said in a news release.

Toronto police say ... Anyone with information is asked to contact Toronto police

Apparently the CBC, normally the closest thing Canada has to good journalism, knows only what the police have told them about this event.
