    In the aerial photo uploaded to X, there is a group of about eight people near the stage, to the centre, wearing purple shirts. As reported by the Star, and other media, there were hundreds of protesters concentrated by the main stage, compared to thousands of Ford Fest attendees sprawled across the park. Near the stage, protesters were among dozens of Ford supporters, including political staff and invited stakeholders. The aerial photo appears to show blue balloons, while a Star reporter observed only purple and pink balloons in the crowd by the main stage. vs.
