Liberal MPs like Chris Bittle want to brand the whole Toronto protest with this man.
I ran into him just before 6pm with protest supporters & opponents.
Both sides told him he was wrong & should leave.
The exchange was fascinating.
Then someone stole his sign & destroyed it.

The two men to my left who supported the protest said they were Jewish and asked the man if he knew how wrong he was. They also tried to ask why he was putting the message out there and if he understood how racist it was.
The woman to my right opposed the protest and this man.

She was also pleased to see everyone around this man telling him how wrong he was.
I honestly can’t tell you if this man is just a racist, a complete idiot or a plant.
He had trouble explaining why he was there and what he believed. He just kept pushing the website.

1/15. The #TorontoConvoy is now reduced to handful of ppl thanks to authorities moving out the trucks and crowds a few hours ago.
I spent the better part of the afternoon here.
Some observations. 👇🧵

2/15. Lets start with the ugliedt one.
I chatted with Greg here from New Brunswick, who carried around what was by far the most antisemitic signage of the day.
He said he's just sharing the truth (that Jews are behind COVID etc).

3/15. Greg doesnt represent everyone at the #TorontoConvoy, but as we spoke, a semi circle of nodding audience members formed behind me.
And every time I passed him later, he'd be talking enthusiastically with another person there. I didn't see anyone contradict him.
