An event for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was cut short in Belleville, Ont., today after nearly 100 protesters surrounded him and his motorcade.
.........
Protesters showed up at the market outside city hall as Trudeau met with a crowd of community members and took selfies.
Trudeau was set to meet with about 10 vendors, but he couldnt make his way to the other side of the public square after being swarmed by the dozens of protesters.
Some of them were holding Trump flags, while others were screaming expletives about the government and the media.

(16,744 posts)I'm guessing it is manufactured outrage, just like in the US. Manufactured by RW plutocrats who don't want a functioning government getting in the way of their rapacity.
I'm sure the multi-national corps are fostering/festering this activity around the world.

(122,801 posts)We are still wedded to education and growing the middle class in Canada. We love public healthcare. The left is split by three or 4 parties (Liberals, NDP, Green, Block Quebecois) so that is the only reason why the Conservatives sometimes win. Trump flags aren't new but this was organized and Conservatives need something other than Conservative leader Pierre Poilievre (conservatives did not do well in recent bi-elections). This does sound organized. So maybe the right in Canada is going to try to piggyback on Trump? Poilievre has just changed his image by getting rid of his glasses. Maybe he did not see the mention of Trump flags in the memo?
