There was【C7】______public support for the demonstration and the authorities could no longer deny the important role that the trade unions had to play in the【C8】______Canadian democratic society. A few months later, a similar demonstration was organized in Ottawa and passed the house of Canada’s first prime minister, Sir John Macdonald. Later in the day, he appeared before the gathering and promised to【C9】______all Canadian laws against trade unions. This happened in the same year and【C10】______led to the founding of the Canadian Labour Congress in 1883.
