Malton Canada Day Community BarbecueOn July 1 the community of Malton held a Canada Day community barbecue to address and unite Malton in the fight against police brutality, violence and killings. The barbecue was well attended with approximately 400 people of various nationalities who had one message and spoke with one voice -- to seek justice for the killing of Mr. Choudry and to hold police accountable for violence and killings they carry out. During the festivities the community youth decided to once again take a stand and demonstrate resistance by blocking the intersection of Morning Star Dr. and Goreway Dr. and shouted No Justice, No Peace! It was soon after the intersection was blocked that Peel Police arrived, attempting to persuade the crowd to cease the blockade. But instead many in the crowd confronted police and demanded the names of the officers who killed Mr. Choudry. As the crowd asked police to leave the area they also simultaneously shouted No Guns Allowed, No Justice, No Peace! and as the outnumbered police started leaving there was a loud cheer of elation.
