CBC London has a story with more updates:

"Lots of folks [at the protest] were concerned about Gaza, and were also concerned about war crimes in Sudan and other places and the fact that Canadian war merchants, death merchants, are arming them," Heap said.

"I think the police response is overreaching, and that's because they're trying to intimidate people from standing against war industries ... more generally, and it won't work," he said.
