RCMP worried convoy protesters would target Trudeau, echoing election threats
Once protesters arrived in large numbers, Trudeau and his family were ultimately moved to an undisclosed location for security reasons.On Jan. 27, Trudeau announced he would begin isolating for five days after testing positive for COVID-19.
“This news may increase frustrations of individuals associated with the convoy, fuelling perceptions that the government is ignoring Canadians and may result in an increase of threats directed towards the PM,” said an RCMP report the same day.
A series of separate reports that RCMP intelligence analysts prepared during the 2021 federal election campaign, which detail threats against Trudeau, have also been tabled with the commission. During the election, Trudeau was repeatedly followed by protesters decrying vaccine requirements and hurling obscenities at him.
At one point, he was pelted with gravel. On another occasion, a rally planned in Bolton, Ont., was cancelled, with Trudeau citing the intensity of the anger in the crowd of protesters who attended the event.During the campaign, the RCMP said it observed an increase in “hostile” behavior towards Trudeau, who was the main target of threats.
