Al-Quds Day rally organizers sue Premier Ford for defamation
Lawsuit alleges Ford's comments about rally motivated by malice and display racism
The organizers behind Toronto's annual Al-Quds Day rally are suing Premier Doug Ford for defamation, alleging that commentary he made about the rally was motivated by "malice" and displays racism. The lawsuit comes after the premier called for an injunction to prevent the 2026 rally, saying it "celebrates terrorism."
