Protests at G7 summit in Alberta set to be largely peaceful, targeting Trump policies
Published Jun 12, 2025 • 4 minute read The parking lot of the Fenlands Recreation Centre in Banff has been chosen as the G7 2025 protest zone in the townsite. It was photographed on Thursday May 22, 2025. Photo by Gavin Young / Postmedia EDMONTON — Protests during the upcoming G7 leaders summit in Kananaskis, Alta., may be starkly different than demonstrations happening this week against immigration crackdowns in the United States.

Create Account A University of Toronto research group that has been monitoring the meetings of world leaders since 1998 says its analysis shows Canadian protests are more peaceful and smaller. But similar to the recent demonstrations in Los Angeles, they're likely to be against the policies of U.S. President Donald Trump. 'The Los Angeles protests will add another (issue) the protesters going there already care about, but it won't do anything much more than that,' said John Kirton, director of the G7 Research Group. 'I don't think it'll bring more protesters, too. Nor will the L.A. protests delay Trump from coming here.' Prime Minister Mark Carney is hosting Trump and world leaders from France, Germany, Japan, the United Kingdom, Italy and the European Union for the three-day summit starting Sunday in the Rocky Mountains southwest of Calgary.

The summit comes as protests in the United States continue against Trump's immigration raids, particularly his government's detainment of migrants. Hundreds of marines have joined about 4,000 National Guard troops in Los Angeles. The protests have seen clashes with police, burned cars, rubber bullets shot at journalists and arrests. In Alberta, Kirton said protests during the G7 are not expected to be the same. '(The G7's) distinctive mission from the very beginning was to promote within its own members the values of open democracy,' he said. 'In democracies, people are supposed to protest. It's an integral part.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. It's unlikely Canada's government would respond to any clashes like Trump, by calling in the military, Kirton added. The remote Kananaskis location will be closed off to the public. Visuals and audio of protesters at three demonstration zones designated by the RCMP — two in downtown Calgary and one in Banff _ are to be shown to the leaders and other delegates at the summit on TV screens. Another zone at the Calgary airport won't be broadcast. Kirton said the distance between officials and protesters ensures the summit unfolds peacefully. 'Trump has been subjected to two assassination attempts, and one almost killed him. So you can see why (RCMP) have to be hypervigilant,' Kirton said. The Calgary Raging Grannies group plans to be at the protest zone at Calgary City Hall on Sunday afternoon. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Mary Oxendale-Spensley, 74, said the grandmothers will be far from raging and clashing with police when they call out Trump's tariffs and his pitch to annex Canada. 'We do intend to sing,' said the retired teacher. One of their songs in the lineup: 'U.S.A., you have got a problem.' The song calls the U.S. president an 'orange blob' because of his tan, says he's 'way out of line,' and declares 'our sovereign nation will never be yours,' said Oxendale-Spensley. Ensuring Trump hears their message is vital, she said, even if it's on a screen. 'I'm a Canadian. I was Canadian when I was born. I intend to be a Canadian when I die.' RECOMMENDED VIDEO It's hard to say how many grannies will be at the protest, she added. 'My big complaint about the grannies always is that we're grannies. People get sick, people break their ankle, that kind of thing.' This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. Protests at the last G7 summit in Kananaskis in 2002 were peaceful, Kirton said, as demonstrators were also given designated zones. 'I do remember most vividly it was very hot,' Kirton said, and there were not many protesters. 'There were so few of them and it was so peaceful that we didn't even bother to estimate a number.' Aside from protests against Trump, some are expected to address other issues — like calling for an end to the Israel-Hamas war and Russia's war in Ukraine, Kirton said. Kirton said he also anticipates a presence from Canadians who want Alberta to separate from Canada, as well as those opposed to Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi. Tensions have been high between Canada and India since 2023, when former prime minister Justin Trudeau told the House of Commons that agents of the Indian government were linked to the killing of a Canadian activist for Sikh separatism outside a gurdwara in Surrey, B.C. This advertisement has not loaded yet, but your article continues below. The World Sikh Organization of Canada said inviting Modi to the G7 is unacceptable. The International League of Peoples' Struggles, an international alliance of grassroots organizations, is expecting about 200 people for a protest also at Calgary City Hall. Yasmeen Khan, vice-chair of the group's North America chapter, said protesters want to raise awareness about various issues, including Indigenous struggles, housing and climate change. 'We'll have banners. We'll be chanting,' she said. 'We will also have some cultural performances from some Indigenous artists and migrant youth.' Mounties said first responders are prepared for protests. 'While the number of participants may vary, we have strong situational awareness of anticipated demonstrations and are well positioned to respond accordingly,' said RCMP spokesman Fraser Logan.

Liberal MP criticizes Modi's G7 invitation in meeting with Prime Minister Carney
Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi arrives to receive visiting Angolan President João Lourenco at the Indian presidential palace in New Delhi, India on Saturday, May 3, 2025. (AP Photo/Manish Swarup) OTTAWA -- B.C. Liberal MP Sukh Dhaliwal said he met with Prime Minister Mark Carney Wednesday morning to push back against the decision to invite Indian Prime Minister Narendra Modi to the G7 summit in Alberta next week. In an interview with The Canadian Press before that meeting took place, Dhaliwal said he spoke with hundreds of people who don't want Modi to attend the upcoming leaders summit -- some of them members of the Liberal caucus. 'We as Canadians take pride to be a champion on human rights. We are the country of law and justice,' Dhaliwal said Tuesday. 'When it comes to protecting fundamental rights and serving justice for the victim, it is non-negotiable.' In 2023 and 2024, former prime minister Justin Trudeau and the RCMP said there was evidence linking agents of the Indian government to the murder of Canadian Sikh separatism activist Hardeep Singh Nijjar in Surrey, B.C., in June 2023. Last October, RCMP Commissioner Mike Duheme said the police force had evidence linking Indian government officials to other crimes in Canada, including extortion, coercion and homicide. Justice Marie-Josee Hogue, who led the public inquiry into foreign political interference last year, reported that China and India are among the primary actors behind foreign inference operations targeting Canada. Carney issued an invitation to Modi in a phone call on June 6. Dhaliwal said Wednesday that he met with Carney Wednesday before the weekly Liberal caucus meeting and shared concerns about that invitation that were raised by constituents. 'Now that (Modi's) invited, we have to move forward,' Dhaliwal said. '(Carney) is alarmed about the issue and he will be very strong in dealing with those issues that are important to Canadians.' Gurbux Saini, another B.C. Liberal MP, said the decision to invite Modi to the G7 and the invitation extended to Saudi Arabian Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman are undermining Canada's reputation as a champion of human rights. 'It is a damaging thing because we have been known in the world as caring and compassionate people who love human rights, and this is something the prime minister is aware of and it has been brought to his attention,' Saini said Wednesday. Canada has invited Saudi Arabia's de facto leader to the G7 summit, according to two Canadian government officials who were not authorized to speak publicly about Canada's invitation list. As of mid-afternoon Wednesday, Riyadh had not indicated whether it had accepted the invitation. Carney did not respond to reporters' questions on his way into the caucus meeting Wednesday. International Trade Minister Maninder Sidhu said some of his constituents have raised concerns with him about 'invitations to leaders.' 'But I think it's important to note that at this time, at a time of crisis, we need to be able to collaborate and of course work out some issues,' Sidhu said before entering the caucus room. The crisis Sidhu referred to is the tariff war with the U.S. Dhaliwal, who represents the riding where Nijjar was killed, said Tuesday the invitation betrays Canadian values. 'Before we invited him, Prime Minister Modi should have committed that he and his team or his associates or his departments will fully co-operate with the Canadian authorities,' Dhaliwal said Tuesday. Carney said he wants to keep policing matters separate from Canada's responsibilities as G7 chair and has argued that India, one of the world's largest economies, belongs at the table. Carney has said India agreed to continue 'law enforcement dialogue.' Modi's comment on his Friday call with Carney did not mention policing. The NDP condemned the decision to invite Modi. At a press conference on Parliament Hill Wednesday morning, Alberta NDP MP Heather McPherson accused the Carney government of putting 'profits over people.' 'That's appalling. For me, what it indicated, this government has consistently and very clearly chosen profits and the economy over human rights,' McPherson said. 'I think all Canadians expect their government to provide good, family-sustaining jobs, but not at the expense of human rights.' At a Tuesday webinar organized by the Asia Pacific Foundation, a federal think tank, experts argued Canada can use the G7 summit to build a functional relationship with India on trade, clean energy and dealing with China. C. Raja Mohan of the Council for Strategic and Defense Research in New Delhi argued that South Asia's political concerns are going to continue to resonate across the English-speaking world, in part due to high emigration to places like Canada, the U.S. and Britain. He said that creates 'a structural problem' where foreign interference and extremist elements among Sikh activists can create tensions for both India and other countries. 'This is going to get worse. After all, politics is not going to cease, either in the West or in India,' he said. Mohan argued Ottawa and New Delhi must find ways to address these issues through sustained, long-term law enforcement co-operation, rather than 'public posturing.' 'How do you prevent Indian politics from poisoning Canadian politics, or prevent political mobilization within the ... Anglo-American world from ... generating problems for India?' he asked. 'This is something we have to manage over the longer term, and there are not going to be these high-minded, declaratory solutions to this.' Michael Kugelman, a senior fellow with the Asia Pacific Foundation, said he suspects India will be observing how Ottawa responds to any protests against Modi in Canada. 'New Delhi will be watching this very closely,' he said. Kugelman said the G7 visit could be a way to build trust between Canada and India, and might lead to more a substantive reset of relations before the November G20 summit in South Africa.
