Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a press conference this morning to address the protests going on in Ottawa. The conference was remote as Trudeau announced that he tested positive for COVID-19 and will continue to work remotely while following all public health guidelines.
During the press conference, Trudeau said he will not go
"anywhere near protests that have expressed hateful rhetoric and violence towards their fellow citizens."
Trudeau went on to say
"We have seen over the past many, many months Conservative politicians sharing disinformation about vaccines, encouraging conspiracy theories online, and I think Erin O'Toole is going to need to reflect very carefully on how he's walking a path that supports these people who do not represent truckers, let alone the vast majority of Canadians."
Some of the protesters have vowed to stay at Parliament Hill until all pandemic-related restrictions have been fully removed.
