As the world, including Canada, tries to make sense of the U.S. capturing Venezuelan leader Nicolás Maduro and his wife, some Hamilton demonstrators are denouncing the military intervention. Stone was joined by about two dozen protesters on Monday, standing outside the government of Canada building on Bay Street in Hamilton, chanting and holding signs that read, "Hands off Venezuela" and "No war on Venezuela." Maduro's lawyer has said his client was "abducted" by the military, and Russia, China and other allies of Venezuela have condemned the raid. Carney's office directed CBC Hamilton to Global Affairs Canada for comment, which did not respond before publication. Federico Luchsinger was among those at the demonstration in Hamilton to protest against the U.S. action in Venezuela.
