Ottawa police are debunking a right-wing American news outlet’s claim that thousands of pro-Trump supporters descended on Parliament Hill Saturday.

Breitbart News reported Saturday that up to 5,000 people protested in favour of U.S. President Donald Trump’s conservative agenda Saturday. Protesters, the controversial outlet said, were also angry about Prime Minster Justin Trudeau liberal policies.

As of Monday morning, the piece has been shared more than 33,000 times on social media.

Ottawa Police Const. Marc Soucy confirmed a protest was planned for Parliament Hill. He said he couldn’t confirm the numbers but estimated the crowd was “less than 100.”

“It wasn’t 5,000,” Soucy told iPolitics, adding he was downtown Saturday and didn’t notice any large protest.

Parliamentary Protection Services spokesperson Melissa Rusk told iPolitics they estimate between 300 to 400 people attended Saturday’s protest. The service is under the command of the RCMP.

A Million Canadian March was planned for Saturday, according to the group’s Facebook page. Some 504 people had indicated they were interested in going to the event, which was scheduled from 11 a.m. to 4 p.m. EST.

“March against Trudope and his tyranny. This march is your march. Make your voice heard. We are having a campout and pig roast on June 3rd after the march to be held at a location close to Ottawa. Let’s have a big turnout and make a difference,” the page reads.

Permits for protests on Parliament Hill are issued by the RCMP. However, Ottawa Police are notified about any expected protests.

A rally for lyme disease awareness, organized by VOCAL Ottawa, was also planned for Saturday. That event ran from 1 p.m. to 5:30 p.m. local time. About 250 to 300 people attended that event, Rusk said.

One of the largest protests on Parliament Hill this year, Rusk said, is the annual 420 marijuana rally or weed day, which happens April 20. Some 10,000 people attended that gathering this year.
