Canada election: Party leaders condemn profane protest disrupting Trudeau rally

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was forced to cancel his campaign event in Bolton, Ont. on Friday, after a large group of unruly anti-vaccine protesters showed up, triggering a slew of security concerns.

Later on at a different location, Trudeau said "it is something that Canadians, all of us need to reflect on, because it's not who we are. It's not who we want to be as a country."

Meanwhile, the Conservative candidate for the riding Trudeau was visiting tweeted that a few of his supporters were at that protest, and were no longer welcome on his campaign.

As Mike Le Couteur reports, party leaders of all stripes are condemning the profanity-laced demonstration.

This is democracy! If people don’t like him, they can express that feeling by protesting! Many people will vote him out! Don’t worry!

This is what happens when you divide a country, tax the crap out of people, drive up the cost of living, and force people to put something in their body they don’t want. People are mad

[johnm]

"party leaders now worried their actions might have consequences" should be the headline

[DrAutoflower]

in a free country we can voice our opinion, the media dont like it

[Nhifirst]

Democracy is when the people can protest their government, not when the government is passing bills to stop the people's speech

LOL @ attempting to link this to Trump... Global News has no shame

[DFringeMinority]

What you mean with "profane protest"? I just saw a bunch of citizens willing to get their lives back..

[Polly_Ticks]

I do not condemn Canadians speaking their mind in peaceful protest.

Trudue needs to reflect in a dark cell. Keep up the good work. Let them know how we feel.

[rhondaclark]

People are pissed cursing is the least of what’s going on

[shnarfy]

What else would you expect when you steal and lie to people.

[Someguy]

Wasnt this media outlet supporting violent riots all of last year?

I hope he gets ran out of every town he goes to in the most abusive way possible

"It's not who we are" said Trudeau in denial of the problems that Canadians face.

[danasotornik]

Playing the Trump card as a cause for otherwise good Canadians expressing how they truly feel about this government? Really? What a joke!!!

[bodblms]

Your vision of the country no longer matchs the vision of its citizens. Time to leave Trudeau.

Meanwhile it's perfectly fine to verbally and aggressively attack those who choose not to mRNA.

[rccpromotions]

Don't take away people's freedoms, medical rights, and destroy their currency and expect them to welcome you with margaritas 🍹

[biddydibdab]

Trudeau, you don’t speak for me. And O’Toole, you should be on the side of the people, not speaking out in Trudeau’s defence. He deserves all he gets.

You hear anger at a PPC campaign stop, People are sick and tired of the establishment, the only way to get rid of the establishment is to vote PPC.

"It's not who we are..."
