An Al-Quds Day rally took to the streets near the U.S. consulate in Toronto Saturday, after an Ontario Superior Court justice ruled that the demonstration could continue as planned.

Attendee Stephen Ellis, who is also a lawyer for rally organizers, said everyone is "very happy" that the injunction was dismissed, but the morning was filled with "fear-mongering" and "desperation."

"We were confident it wasn't going to succeed. It's absurd that they would abrogate our rights," he said. "The attempt for the injunction was a politically motivated attack on our rights and so we were happy to vindicate those rights today."

The justice's decision comes after two Toronto city councillors and Ontario Premier Doug Ford called for an injunction to prevent the rally from happening.

In a post to social media Friday, Ford asked the attorney general to act and called the demonstration a "breeding ground for hate and antisemitism."

Drug Fraud's brain is a breeding ground for hate. Maybe Ontario could/should force him to have a lobotomy instead.
