Participants in the Canadian trucker convoy protest against vaccine mandates are slamming Prime Minister Justin Trudeau after he claimed they were “racist” and that participants defaced war memorials.
Establishment media outlets attempted to paint the truckers as racist, antisemitic, and Islamophobic, citing “experts.”
Rebel News founder Ezra Levant addressed the crowd on Saturday: noting it was both diverse and non-violent:
The protesters briefly decorated a statue to Terry Fox, a Canadian runner and cancer research activist, with flags and signs.
They later cleaned the statue, though media reports claimed they had vandalized it.
They also cleaned up the protest site:
Trudeau declared Monday:
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 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. We won’t give in to those who fly racist flags. We won’t cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonor the memory of our veterans.
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.
Levant told Breitbart News that the two people who had parked on the monument moved their cars when told to do so. 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.
Trudeau’s claims were “complete B.S.,” Levant said, and an attempt to discredit legitimate protest.

Levant said that one protester drew a swastika on a Canadian flag — not to endorse the swastika, but as a commentary on Trudeau’s “fascist” mandates, one with which Levant said he did not agree, but which was not intended as a racist statement.
Another man showed up wearing a Confederate flag, Levant said, but had his face covered and was told by others to leave.
Trudeau just keeps digging his own hole deeper and deeper.
Just like Biden, he smeared the citizens of his country. Pretty low.
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:
The Chateau Laurier is Ottawa’s most expensive hotel. It’s also an establishment political hang-out — there are always cabinet ministers and lobbyists in the hotel bar. There is simply zero chance that a trucker would stay there. This is so obviously a false flag hoax.
If he consciously chooses not to argue the issue on the merits, it means his position doesn’t have any merit.
They all go to name calling, like kids
Racist!
Drink.
Does his Weed come by truck or does he grow his own ? LOL
I believe a point be reached where people do not care what they are called.
I do not think the establishment realizes the depth of anger in the populace.
Can’t spell “Justin Trudeau” without “UNTRUE”
The Toronto (Red) Star (and all the various publications that they own) have, BY FAR, been posting the shrillest, loudest and most repugnant rhetoric about how the Freedom Convoy is nothing but a giant, neo-nazi rally.
Of course, just like the CBC, the Red Star has long been an unofficial Liberal Party organ.
Propaganda is thick everywhere in every media venue.
Completely agree.
His name is spelled “E L I T E L E F T I S T.” Wannabe
Canucks be racist and stuff.
Maybe MTV can make a show on it.
I am worried that the FIB is going to write off the Confederate paraphernalia that they loaned the Canadians for their false flag op.
All Castro’s little bastard has is “racism”, now...
Merely disagreeing with a leftist means you are a racist, or whatever nasty name they have for you at any given moment.
