RCMP monitored hostility from anti-vaccine movement against Trudeau since election
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau is escorted by his RCMP security detail as protesters shout and throw rocks while leaving a campaign stop at a local micro brewery during the Canadian federal election campaign in London Ont., on Monday, September 6, 2021.
The weeks-long demonstrations, which blockaded downtown Ottawa and several border crossings, were driven by opposition to COVID-19 restrictions such as mask and vaccine requirements. Many participants voiced their opposition to the federal government in general and Trudeau himself. According to a threat assessment prepared Jan. 26 — two days before tens of thousands of protesters, many of them in heavy trucks, descended on downtown Ottawa — the RCMP’s intelligence unit warned that Trudeau’s residence might be a target for demonstrators.
On Jan. 27, Trudeau announced he would begin isolating for five days after testing positive for COVID-19.
