TORONTO - Supporters of the anti-government uprising in Egypt are planning to rally in at least three Canadian cities Friday and Saturday.

Hundreds are expected to demonstrate peacefully on Friday afternoon outside the Egyptian consulate in Montreal and the Egyptian embassy in Ottawa.

A family-friendly rally will be held at Toronto's Dundas Square on Saturday afternoon.

Ahmed Khalifa, one of the organizers for the Toronto event, says he's amazed that so many people are coming together in support of the protests sweeping the Middle East.

Activists in Egypt are taking to the streets for the third straight day in the country's largest anti-government demonstrations in years and are calling for mass protests Friday in Cairo.

The popular revolt that began in Tunisia has also spread to Yemen, where tens of thousands are rallying against President Abdullah Saleh.
