Tensions amid a group of protesters estimated at about four dozen escalated to the point where Royal Canadian Mounted Police decided it wasn’t safe for the prime minister to attend, the RCMP confirmed to the Star Wednesday.
That freedom to engage in political party activity “should never be in question as it was last night and as we’re increasingly seeing across the country,” Trudeau said, echoing his video comments of the night before. “The number of protesters continued to grow in size and included with the protest were several cars, larger trucks and vehicles towing trailers that were travelling in a convoy style loop around the roadway,” she said. “Due [to] the size and composition of the protest group and for the safety of everyone in attendance, a decision was made that it was not safe for the prime minister to attend the location.
Caley, who now works for Canada 2020, a non-partisan think tank, tweeted: “A noose was brought to the door of an event with Canada’s Prime Minister last night. The escalating toxicity being stoked via the extreme-right this year is beyond dangerous. Threats and intimidation have no place in our democracy, full stop.”
Trudeau told the fundraiser, hosted by Surrey Centre MP Randeep Sarai and attended by members of the area’s large South Asian community including many Sikhs, that he was “sad” not to see “friends who I haven’t seen in a long while we’ve all struggled through this COVID pandemic. Defence Minister Anita Anand spoke as well, but The Canadian Press said a reporter in attendance was asked to leave.
Surrey is full of these welfare collecting trailer park hicks.
How is that not a criminal offence to carry a noose with someone’s name on it? At the very least it is a threat of violence with intent to hang. Disgusting display of inhuman humanity.
Threatening the life of the PM is a crime. Anti-Trudeau protest isn’t political. It’s constant death threats against the PM. That is wrong! RCMP time to start enforcing the law and protect the POC.
And, of course, they were arrested?
Charge them with sedition and throw the book at them
Seeing this 🤡 being run out of every city he attends warms my heart. It also gives me hope that when the time comes people will do the right thing and vote his lying and society dividing self out of power.

Protesters : 'But they're still not listening to us.' Greek chorus : 'Oh yes, they are....they just don't agree with you. Adding decibels and disgusting props won't help your position.....did you skip Kindergarten?'
