There wasn't one in my city (=Montreal, Canada). But there were people who occupied a TD bank in Vancouver, Canada, as the bank is reportedly involved in the funding of the pipeline.

(I couldn't find another reference for this though, it looks like the big Canadian media aren't covering this.)

Also, it's really GREAT that Sanders came out in support of this. :)

There were several protests in the Chicago area; nothing close to me, so I didn't make one. But there were at least two in the city, and a number of others sprinkled around the suburbs. I haven't heard how well attended any of them were.

There was here in Cleveland; I couldn't go because work sucks and wouldn't let me have the time off.
