Trudeau says he won’t be intimidated by protesters
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says his government won’t be intimidated by protesters who refuse to leave the parliamentary precinct until vaccine mandates and other COVID-19 restrictions are abolished. The prime minister spoke to Canadians while in isolation, both because he tested positive for the virus and for safety reasons while the protesters surround the capital. He says Canadians are shocked and disgusted by some protesters flying Nazi flags and desecrating memorials, and those individuals don’t represent truckers or the vast majority of Canadians.
