Women Across Maritimes March Against Trump
Hundreds of Maritimers took to public squares and social media to show their solidarity with their U-S neighbours a day after Donald Trump’s inauguration. Offshoots of the Women’s March on Washington were held in Halifax, Fredericton and Charlottetown on Saturday. Protesters in Newfoundland’s capital held a “virtual” rally after being snowed out by a blizzard in St. John’s. Organizers say 30 events were planned across Canada.
