About four dozen protesters used expletives as they chanted against Trudeau and honked horns outside the convention centre
Article contentAbout half a dozen RCMP officers stood by watching the crowd.
Earlier this month, police began investigating after a video circulated on social media showed people hurling verbal abuse at NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh during a protest in Peterborough, Ont. The federal NDP leader had dropped by the campaign office for an Ontario NDP candidate running in the provincial election.
A video shows Singh encountering protesters as he left the campaign office, and they can be heard shouting expletives at him and calling him a “traitor”‘ as he gets inside a vehicle. Singh later told reporters he found the experience “intense, threatening insulting”‘ but that he is more worried about what it means for politics in general.Share this article in your social network
