It almost felt that the establishment was disappointed with last weekend’s demonstrations being peaceful

“In all my years I have never seen a Canadian Prime Minister identify and vilify a large, identifiable group in the way Justin Trudeau did on Jan. 31. While I didn’t expect the prime minister to be supportive of the thousands of protesters gathered on Parliament Hill, I was flabbergasted listening to him inflaming the situation and labelling them as racists and extremists.

Despite the protests being remarkably peaceful and respectful, Trudeau chose to focus on the few outlying incidents caused by a handful of individuals when he said: “We won’t give in to those who fly racist flags. We won’t cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonour the memory of our veterans.

Tens of thousands of citizens came out to those protests supported by hundreds of thousands if not millions of Canadians who couldn’t make it there themselves. Even if this still represents a minority of Canadians, it clearly represents a huge number of them and our prime minister has now smeared them as being racists who commit crimes and disrespect veterans.

This was an appalling statement from Trudeau about citizens he is ostensibly supposed to be leading and representing. Many of the demonstrators were people of colour, and doubtless there were many veterans among them. How must that have felt hearing the leader of their nation deriding them this way?”
