Montrealers gathered to hold a vigil on Wednesday night in memory of those who were killed or hurt in the deadly explosion in Beirut. Many had watched in horror on Tuesday as footage of a massive explosion at a warehouse in Beirut made the rounds on social media. Nassar said because Lebanon is a small country, everyone knows someone who was affected by the explosion. Hanadi Saad, founder of Justice Femme, was born in Lebanon and moved to Canada with her family in 1991. Camille Nassar, born in Lebanon, said his uncle and cousin were both injured in the blast.
