OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says he is not “intimidated” by members of the trucker protest who “hurl insults and abuse” workers or “steal food from the homeless” over the weekend and will not meet with organizers.
“Over the past few days, Canadians were shocked, and frankly, disgusted by the behaviour displayed by some people protesting in our nation’s capital,” Trudeau said during a press conference Monday in which he came out swinging against some members of this weekend’s massive trucker protest in Ottawa.
“We are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse small business workers and steal food from the homeless. We won’t give in to those who fly racist flags. We won’t cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonor the memory of our veterans.”
The prime minister also criticized politicians who are “exploiting people’s fears,” though he stopped short of naming anyone.
This is Trudeau’s first public (virtual) appearance since he began isolating following a COVID-19 exposure last Wednesday. Monday morning, he said on Twitter that he had tested positive for the virus and would remain in isolation.
This poorly educated weak privileged racist idiot is running the shutdown and destruction of Canada while the rest of the world ends all Covid restrictions
Looks like Trudeau's covid distraction will no longer protect his long history of scandals, fraud, thievery and corruption

By ANDY BLATCHFORD 07/24/2020 05:00 AM EDT OTTAWA — Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, in the midst of the Covid-19 pandemic, is embroiled in another controversy of his own making that’s inflicting political damage on him and his administration.
The Canadian leader is struggling to contain the rapid spread of a firestorm sparked by his plan to award a sole-source contract to a powerful charity and fueled by revelations that members of his family have been paid hundreds of thousands of dollars in speaking fees by the organization over the past half decade. The dustup also threatens to cost Trudeau his trusted finance minister.
Trudeau’s trouble began building momentum a few weeks ago after his government announced the deal to pay WE Charity up to C$43 million to administer a C$912-million student grant program as part of Canada’s Covid-19 response. The group works on international development projects and classroom programs, mostly in the U.S. and Canada, that teach youth about civic engagement.
The public and parliamentary reaction in Canada to the news and further revelations of speaking fees and travel expenses paid to family members of Trudeau and Finance Minister Bill Morneau has been swift and harsh.
Polls suggest the still-emerging controversy around WE Charity has already chewed away at Trudeau’s approval ratings, which saw a lift after the start of the pandemic. Rivals have demanded Morneau’s resignation and the fallout risks nudging opponents closer to defeating Trudeau’s minority Liberal government, triggering another election. Canada's ethics commissioner has launched investigations into Trudeau and Morneau.
Trudeau has shown he can survive scandals, including images of him wearing brownface 20 years ago that surfaced during last year's election campaign. The ethics commissioner found last year that Trudeau broke conflict-of-interest law after the prime minister and his staff repeatedly urged his former attorney general to reach a plea-bargain deal with the SNC-Lavalin engineering firm, which faced corruption charges.
Trudeau also weathered blowback from a 2018 trip to India when he had to rescind a dinner invitation he’d issued to a Sikh extremist who had been accused of attempting to murder an Indian politician.
In late 2018, the ethics commissioner also concluded Trudeau violated violated ethics law over two all-expenses-paid family trips at the Aga Khan's residence in the Bahamas.

People at the protest are concerned that Trudeau paid anti freedom rioters to come in and start false flag violence to discredit and smear the truckers
This is Ephesians 4:18 - Intellectually they are in the dark, and they are estranged from the life of God, because of the ignorance which is the consequence of closed minds.
Which means - Always listen to every voice, not just the ones you want to hear. --- Here's what they are reporting about Ottawa in the UK.
Freedom Convoy: Trudeau calls trucker protest an 'insult to truth'
Canada's Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has slammed protests in the capital city against Covid-19 vaccine mandates as "an insult to memory and truth".
Protestors are demonstrating for a third consecutive day over a cross-border vaccine mandate for truckers imposed by the Liberal government.
Ottawa police asked the public to avoid the downtown area on Monday, citing "traffic, noise and safety issues".
Some downtown stores, including a shopping mall, will also be closed.
Demonstrators at the so-called Freedom Convoy have been mostly peaceful but the behaviour of some members of the crowd has been strongly criticised.

Likely the ones who hung a flag on the Terry Fox monument? or pizzed next to the war memorial? This gets cycled every 10 minutes on every media outlet lol.
Take the flag off, then shovel the one scoop of yellow snow from the war memorial (was probably a dog that did it anyways) and everything should be ok.
Trudeau already has paid anti-freedom supporters in every media outlet in this Country.
Trudeau says......the cross border mandate is to keep everyone safe. Which of you actually believe this? .......please come out and stick your head up.
I see Europe is ending Covid restrictions and Trudeau's big pandemic fraud is finally over. His political buddies made hundreds of millions off of his scam.
I foresee Trudeau serving some serious prison time for his criminal actions
