Nahanni Fontaine/Facebook Hundreds of demonstrators rallied in Winnipeg on Saturday in opposition to a protest against immigration — that was subsequently cancelled.

Hundreds of Winnipeggers took to the street Saturday to demonstrate against an anti-immigrant rally that never materialized.

More than 500 people gathered outside the Manitoba Legislative Building for the Winnipeg Diversity Rally Against Hate after a march through downtown, according to CBC News. The demonstration came together after the Worldwide Coalition Against Islam posted plans for a rally on Facebook.

"I can tell you that Indigenous people will never, ever stand for that on our territories," NDP MLA Nahanni Fontaine told the crowd, reported the Winnipeg Sun. "We are better than that. We're Manitobans, we're Canadians and we hold ourselves to higher standards than people who are immersed in hate and fear."

She called the rally "truly a beautiful turnout of Manitobans in support of love" in a note on Facebook.
