Ottawa-area Trudeau event cancelled due to 'size and composition' of protest group. cdnpoli
The Canadian PressPeople driving tractors protest at a scheduled event for Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, which was later cancelled, in Embrun, Ont., on Friday.
Following uneventful stops in Gatineau Park in Quebec and two Ottawa suburbs earlier in the day, Trudeau was on his way to the Brasserie Étienne Brûlé Brewery in Embrun, Ont., about 30 minutes east of Ottawa. The event was called off before he arrived. The Prime Minister's Office said in a statement that while the event had to "unfortunately" be cancelled, the prime minister looks forward to being back soon.It is the second time in less than two months Trudeau was forced to pull out of a planned appearance because of the presence of people espousing similar views as the "freedom convoy" protesters who blockaded downtown Ottawa for three weeks last winter.
