With the recent events in Egypt dominating the headlines of the world, it was no surprise that optimism would fill the air yesterday as Egyptian President Hosni Mubarak finally stepped down, effectively ending two weeks of protest. How fortunate I was, then, to walk by Yonge-Dundas Square on Friday evening and see hundreds of people cheering, chanting "power to the people", and talking to local media in solidaridy with the people of Egypt. I immediately got out my camera, made my way into the crowd and took in the scene.
Here are some pictures of the people who came out to support the people of Egypt, the ideals of democracy, and the hope for a better future.
