The anti-Islam movement Pegida held its first demonstration in Canada Saturday in front of the Ontario legislature in Toronto, where they were met by almost 100 anti-racist counter-demonstrators.

The dozen or so Pegida protesters who gathered at Queen's Park held signs that equated Islam with terrorism and mocked the Prophet Muhammad, and were separated from the counter-demonstrators by a line of police who at times struggled to maintain calm.

The Pegida protesters gave speeches and sang songs, but were easily drowned out by their opponents.
