2020 protests in Canada against police brutality
Shortly after protests seeking justice for George Floyd, an African-American who was accidentally killed during a police arrest, began in the United States, people in Canada protested to show solidarity with Americans and to demonstrate against issues with police or racism in Canada. Vigils and protests of up to thousands of participants took place in all 10 provinces and all 3 territories of Canada.

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau called for Canada to "stand together in solidarity" against racial discrimination. He said Canadians are watching the police violence in the United States in "shock and horror." When Trudeau was asked about U.S. President Donald Trump's threats to use military force against protesters, he paused for 21 seconds before responding diplomatically. He attended an afternoon protest on Parliament Hill on 5 June where he knelt in solidarity with protesters.
