Given what has happened last night, are there any protests planned today or tomorrow at US consulates across Canada? I have not been able to find much info about such protests.

Remind me. What happens when the peaceful protests aren’t working.
Protest movements are a slow solution, but it’s the only way to shift from a general sentiment to a movement. These early stage protests are unlikely to have much impact, but it’s a way to meet others and build the core infrastructure for larger and more effective protests down the road. It doesn’t make a difference overnight, it often takes decades to build enough momentum to affect change.
It’s not going to stop Trump today, but this isn’t going to end with him either. It’s agonizingly slow and difficult, but it’s not pointless and it’s a hell of a lot more than sitting back and cynically doing nothing.
I agree; organizing protests is “warm-up” organizing. It’s exercising your “resistance muscles.” it’s “building capacity.” Gotta do it!
All that said, I’m in the same boat as OP on this one lol, I also don’t know where to look for info.
