Peel police issued a public safety alert Monday evening, after they said some participants were wielding weapons at a demonstration near a Hindu temple in Brampton that saw violent clashes between protesters a day earlier.

A Hindu temple near Toronto where violence erupted over the weekend was the site of another demonstration Monday night that police broke up.

Daniel Bordman, a Canadian journalist, accused the Canadian administration of mishandling a violent disruption outside the Indian consular camp at the Hindu Sabha Temple in Brampton. He criticized Prime Minister Justin Trudeau for inadequate action and cautioned that the situation could worsen during Trudeau's remaining time in office.
