Hundreds of students, parents descended in Toronto for the March For Our Lives rally to show solidarity with the growing U.S. gun control movement in the wake of last month's mass school shooting. The Toronto rally got underway at 10 a.m. Saturday at Nathan Phillips Square, where demonstrators began the 1.5-kilometre march to Queen's Park calling for tighter gun laws in the states. "We haven't done enough to prevent these crimes and these weapons," Monahan said of Canada's gun control laws. Many demonstrators in Toronto carried placards as they marched downtown to show support for the U.S. gun control movement. According to Gun Violence Archive, a nonprofit tracking gun violence incidents, there have been 49 mass shootings in the U.S. this year alone.
