Hundreds of protesters — including some associated with a pair of far-right groups — rallied on Parliament Hill Sunday afternoon to demand an apology from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau. The protesters wanted Trudeau to apologize for denouncing an alleged attack last month on an 11-year-old girl in Toronto, who claimed a man tried twice to cut off her hijab as she walked to school. Hundreds of people — including many from far-right groups La Meute and Storm Alliance — protest on Parliament Hill in Ottawa on Feb. 18, 2018. Others were associated with a second group called Storm Alliance, which identifies as "ultranationalist" but also claims to eschew ties to far-right white nationalists. Trudeau initially said he wanted the girl and her family to know that the assault was "not what Canada is."
