Protesters gathered at the B.C. legislature in Victoria Tuesday, calling for the downfall of Libyan dictator Moammar Gadhafi.
The demonstration took place at the lunch hour, shortly after Prime Minister Stephen Harper visited Victoria and denounced Gadhafi's violent reaction to the protests that have sprung up around the North African country.
Harper announced in Victoria that the Canadian government is working on a plan to evacuate Canadian citizens from Libya.
