Pro-Beijing supporters wave the Chinese flag during a demonstration both for and against extradition law changes in Hong Kong rallied at the Broadway-City Hall SkyTrain Station in Vancouver, Canada on Aug 17, 2019. Demonstrators from both camps squared off in front of a metro station in the western city of Vancouver, home to a large Chinese community, with the crowds being separated by police.

In Canada's largest city Toronto, supporters from both sides confronted each other, local media reported."We have got the police permit to launch a peaceful march, however, before we could go out to start a march, we noticed that there's a very well-orchestrated counter-rally here," Gloria Fung, president of Canada-Hong Kong Link, told CBC News.
