They marched, chanted, waved flags and signs, and handed out pamphlets on the issues dear to their hearts, in hopes the G7 leaders would take notice.

Hundreds of protesters rallied in downtown Calgary on Sunday as leaders from around the world began arriving for the start of the G7 summit in the Rocky Mountain resort of Kananaskis, Alta., about an hour west of the city.

With the site of the summit closed to the public, organizers have set up three “designated demonstration zones” in Calgary and one in Banff and have promised that live video feeds of the protests will be broadcast on big screens in Kananaskis to the leaders in attendance.

Aside from some traffic disruptions, Sunday’s protests were largely peaceful.

Carol and Mike Schmidt held a small Canadian flag as they stood in front of Calgary city hall — one of the protest zones in Calgary — to denounce Donald Trump’s desire to make Canada the 51st state.

BANFF, Canada — President Donald Trump opened the 2025 Group of Seven leaders’ summit by complaining it was a “mistake” for the multilateral organization to remove Russia from its ranks.

“The G7 used to be the G8. [Former President]Barack Obama and a person named [former Canadian Prime Minister Justin] Trudeau didn’t want to have Russia in, and I would say that was a mistake because I think you wouldn’t have a war right now if you had Russia in,” Trump told reporters on Monday.

Russia was removed from the G7 in 2014 in response to its annexation of Crimea.

“What’s that? Nine years ago, eight years ago, it switched over,” Trump said. “They threw Russia out, which I claimed was a very big mistake, even though I wasn’t in politics then, I was very loud about it. It was a mistake in that you spend so much time talking about Russia, but he’s no longer at the table, so it makes life more complicated.”

Trump made the remarks during his first appearance at this year’s G7 summit, which Canada hosted in Kananaskis. He was beside Trudeau’s successor, Mark Carney.
