Toronto police originally estimated more than 200,000 people would gather at the solidarity rally, which is marching down Yonge Street Saturday.

In a statement to CBC Toronto Saturday evening, Toronto police said the Global Day of Action Rally in Toronto saw crowds estimated at 350,000.

Toronto police spokesperson Viktor Sarudi said the estimate of 200,000 people came in part from discussions with organizers.

I don’t trust the cops on the numbers. Especially since the original estimate “came in part from discussions with organizers”, and given what kind of “protest” this is, that probably means the cops were part of organizing it, not just tapped for approval.
