I'm here in Hamilton, for @TheCanadaFiles, covering the 2nd stop of Dimitri Lascaris' Canada-wide tour: "Making Peace with Russia, One Handshake at a Time".
Ukraine supporters have already made their presence known and are trying to get in without tickets. twitter.com/i/web/status/1…

First interruption of the event, stopped quickly.
Look for more clips in the morning.
An Iranian-Canadian attendee spoke about the myth of freedom and democracy in Canada, rejecting a previous question asker who said people in favour of Lascaris' tour should be grateful to be in Canada.
2/2 of the rebuttal and Lascaris' response.
An audience member was very concerned about the rise of neo-Nazism, centered on Ukraine, and stated her concern about lack of Jewish resistance to Canadian government policy which has supported them. Lascaris responded.

Before the Hamilton event began, Dimitri Lascaris shared his thoughts on the London stop of his cross-Canada tour.
Before the event started, Lascaris shared his thoughts on how the Hamilton stop of his tour was set to go.
After the event was over, @CcarKen of @HamiltonHcsw talked about successfully holding the Lascaris talk despite attempts to shut it down. He said that the broader Lascaris cross-Canada tour is a critical moment to build a constituency for peace in Canada.
