Covid-Stricken Trudeau Uses Trucker Protest to Attack Tory Rival
The Liberal prime minister, speaking Monday from an Ottawa-area cottage where he is isolating after testing positive for Covid-19, also used weekend antics by members of the protest convoy to criticize his political opponents. His Conservative rival shot back, accusing Trudeau of stoking division. In parliament, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole said Trudeau’s tactics are dividing the country during the pandemic and called on him to meet with truckers affected by the border vaccine mandate.
Pressed on whether he is using the bad behavior of some protesters to smear the whole group, Trudeau said he’s seen “many, many protests” over the years, and none has had “the level of hateful rhetoric, of swastikas, of abuse towards our fellow citizens” that this one has featured.
He also denounced the vaccine disinformation that some protesters have espoused, attributing it to “online conspiracy theorists” who “go on about microchips, about God knows what else that go with the tinfoil hats.”
#1 If he hasn't spoken with the protesters then he can't know what their views and requests.
#2 How could he know what protesters were saying? He still hasn't met with them but his rival has. We all know there re on-line goofballs who do wear tin hats. Lumping the truckers into that mix is a ploy to denigrate their issue.
#3 I've yet to see any news footage of masses of hate groups & signs. A few fringe elements are always drawn to large gatherings.
#4 How does this nitwit keep getting elected? Who wants a woke blackface wearing word salad spouting do nothing prime minister?
#5 How convenient that he's come down with Covid right now. Maybe it's the political varient?
