There is simply zero chance that a trucker would stay there. It’s also an establishment political hang-out - there are always cabinet ministers and lobbyists in the hotel bar. The Chateau Laurier is Ottawa’s most expensive hotel. Trudeau also appeared to refer to claims that truckers flew swastika flags, including one flown from an expensive hotel at some distance from the protest: He added that the claim of stealing food from the homeless arose from an incident in which a protester had asked to be fed at a soup kitchen. Levant told Breitbart News that the two people who had parked on the monument moved their cars when told to do so. And then later got drunk and stood on the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier. Earlier today, the white protesters taking part in the trucker protest in Ottawa parked their vehicles on the cenotaph at the National War Memorial. If Indigenous people did this we'd NEVER hear the end of it. Trudeau appeared to be echoing unverified claims on social media, including claims about the Terry Fox statue, and a claim that truckers had parked their cars on a war memorial. “Canadians were shocked and disgusted by some people protesting in our nation’s capital,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says.

We won’t cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonor the memory of our veterans. We won’t give in to those who fly racist flags. I want to be very clear: we are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse at small business workers and steal food from the homeless. Over the past few days, Canadians were shocked and, frankly, disgusted by the behavior displayed by some people protesting in our nation’s capital.

I was invited by the truckers to give a short speech. Rebel News founder Ezra Levant addressed the crowd on Saturday: noting that it was both diverse and non-violent: They were cheered along the way by supporters, and have protested peacefully.Įstablishment media outlets attempted to paint the truckers as racist, antisemitic, and Islamophobic, citing “experts.” Over the past week, hundreds of truckers drove across the country to converge on the capital to protest vaccine mandates for truckers crossing the U.S-Canada border.
