That protest only involved an estimated 12 to 15 people.

This story indicates, based on extrapolation, that about 8.5 million Canadians like what Trump is doing with his immigration ban. That's definitely significant.

And I would deem 1 in 4 (or 25%) to be a "sizable minority" as opposed to a "small minority." 1 in 10 would be a "small minority," IMO.
