Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau sought a third term in the general election later this month, repeatedly confronting angry protesters during the campaign. And now, some people even throw stones at him.
The incident occurred on Monday, when the leader of the Liberal Party was attending an event at a small brewery in London, southwest of Toronto, Ontario. Television images showed that someone in the crowd threw what appeared to be a handful of gravel at the Prime Minister.
According to reports, Trudeau, his security personnel and reporters were all attacked. No one was injured.
This incident aroused condemnation from Trudeau’s main rivals, Conservative Party leader Irene O’Toole and New Democratic Party leader Jagmit Singh.
Trudeau-who lost in the polls and is now at a statistical stalemate with O’Toole-has faced what he calls “anti-vaccine thugs” in recent times because he feels about the way the Covid-19 pandemic is handled. anger.
Protesters were angry at the proposed mandatory coronavirus vaccine and other crisis measures, yelling racial and misogynistic slander at his entourage.
Last week, for safety reasons, he was forced to cancel an event.
Trudeau said in an election campaign: “Yes, there is a small group of angry marginalists in this country. They don’t believe in science. They lash out with racist and misogynistic attacks.”
“But Canadians, the vast majority of Canadians, without their representatives, I know that those voices, those special interest groups, those protesters will not be allowed-I don’t even want to call them protesters, those anti-vaccine thugs- -Decide how this country will survive this pandemic.”
