TORONTO—A rally that was billed as promoting "anti-violence" turned hostile on Saturday as flag-waving Chinese denounced Tibetans who they blamed for the recent turmoil in Tibet in which 100 are said to have died.
Close to 1000 Chinese were in Toronto's Dundas Square for the afternoon event, many of them students.
"Dalai Lama die there!" some Chinese shouted at a group of Tibetans who had gathered across the street from the square to protest. "Leave Canada!" others urged.
Tibetans say the Chinese rally was designed to incite hate against them.
The event was promoted in Chinese-language press as a rally to tell the "truth" about Tibet and "safeguard the reunification of the motherland."
Several major Chinese-language media outlets in Canada have parroted the Chinese communist regime's line on Tibet, blaming the turmoil on the Dalai Lama and his followers and fanning a nationalist animosity toward Tibetans. ( Read more )

They also sang communist party songs.
Photos show a real chi-com on a student visa no doubt.
Ping.
Amazing.
Patrick Carnegie, the square’s manager of programming and events, said there were rules that governed how the square is to be used, including not belittling any identifiable group and conveying messages only in a positive way.
Any group can use the space “as long as they do so in a safe manner that is in accordance to the bylaws,” Mr. Carnegie said.
According to Mr. Carnegie, the event had been approved as a “Love China Concert.” When The Epoch Times pointed out that even English-language flyers for the event seemed to suggest an anti-Tibetan theme, he said the group was expected to follow the rules.
Oy veh, folks.
WTF
The rally became dramatic when a Tibetan refugee took to the stage waving a Tibetan flag. He was seized by a group of Chinese who dragged him away before police intervened to separate them.

you gotta figure that the “the year of the rat” isn’t likely to be an auspicious one.
yeah, it’s really b*llsy and it’s just too fn close to the U.S.
grrat minds think alike lol
oops... great minds.
I think the left, and here real communists, think they get to define what peace means in all cases. No matter what the case.
Just like defining what is and is not sniper fire. :)
It’s never violence when a communist does it. /s
There should be no doubt at least 10% of Chinese “students” are actually spies.
Wow, you really are a conservative. :)
I ‘d agree to 25+%
Thanks for the ping, fish. Unbelievable, ain’t it?
