Barcelona’s Prison Affair are one of the leading names in the internet-oriented microgenre called egg-punk.

On Saturday April 12, over 30,000 people from across Canada rallied in front of Ottawa's Parliament Hill, to demand an arms embargo on Israel and an end to Canada's complicity in the genocide against Palestinians in Gaza. 

Protesters marched through downtown Ottawa and made it back to Parliament Hill, where they dispersed.
