In travel advisory, Canadians warned of ‘acts of violence’ linked to Brexit
OTTAWA — Global Affairs Canada has issued a travel advisory for Canadians in Britain, warning them of possible violence in the wake of today’s latest twist in the country’s Brexit drama.
The department issued the updated advisory as British politicians rejected the latest attempt to coalesce around a path out of the European Union.
In the advisory, officials warn of “acts of violence” and confrontations between demonstrators and security forces around the parliamentary buildings and near Westminster Abbey in London.
Canadians are urged to avoid areas where demonstrations take place and nearby subway stations.
