REUTERS/Blair Gable Oct 21 (Reuters) - Canadian Defence Minister Anita Anand's appearance at a democracy forum on Friday was disrupted by a protester who stood before the stage holding a "STOP THE WAR" sign, prompting Anand to take a break in the middle of the programme when the protester refused to leave. Anand was speaking about Canada's support for Ukraine against the Russian invasion at Toronto Metropolitan University when the protester, a woman wearing a winter cap and glasses, displayed the sign addressed to Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, Anand and other Canadian ministers. Protesters were carrying signs with the names of two men shot and killed by San Francisco cops. "STOP LYING. Lobby group Groundswell New Zealand helped organise more than 50 protests in towns and cities across the country on Thursday, the biggest involving a few dozen vehicles. STOP SENDING WEAPONS. Hamasaki and Veronese stayed. STOP NATO," read the sign. News of the mishap comes after a Russian fighter jet. "PEACE IN UKRAINE. Because farming is so big in New Zealand — there are 10 million beef and dairy cattle and 26 million sheep, compared to just 5 million people — about half of all greenhouse gas emissions come from farms."

"Thank you for sharing that with me and I want to say that the aid that we have sent to Ukraine is aid that is in support of democracy, and sovereignty and rules-based international order - that same order that has kept you, everyone in this room, and our country, safe since the end of the Second World War," Anand said. At the protest in Wellington, farmer Dave McCurdy said he was disappointed in the small turnout, but said most farmers were working hard on their farms during a spell of good spring weather at a particularly busy time of year. The protester, however, refused to leave and event host Martin Regg Cohn, a Toronto Star columnist, warned that she was getting to close to the minister's personal space. "I'm going to take a break, Martin. Thank you so much," said a clearly uncomfortably Anand before she walked off the stage. “We’re not out there to wreck it, we wouldn’t make any money. The defence minister, who announced a new military aid package for Ukraine earlier this month, retook the stage about 10 minutes later. Canada has donated or committed about C$600 million in military equipment since Russia began its invasion on Feb. 24. We’re painted as these bad guys, but a lot of farmers have spent generations looking after that land. "Thank you for coming back," Cohn said. "No problem. That's democracy," Anand replied. “I’m out,” he said.
