Protesters at Trudeau’s event in Newmarket, outnumbered by supporters. There’s a PPC sign, another that says VAX = DEATH. One woman screamed at us from the moment we got off the bus, following us to event. She’s still screaming. Among other things she’s upset about masks outside.
I recognize the woman with the white sign from I believe both the Nobleton & (cancelled) Bolton rallies last Friday.
At one point a protester yells “take off your hijab” - unclear who he’s yelling at. Group of supporters boos loudly.
A few seconds of the chaos when the bus door opens. Trudeau has not emerged.
Protesters pack in front and beside the bus. Incumbent @TonyVanBynen at the front ready to meet Trudeau.
Trudeau emerges from bus. I’m not posting video until I can listen for obscenities but it was surround sound of screaming, pushing, crowds. Screaming continues now as he tours a restaurant patio.
We are all out of there and everyone is safe. Here’s some video of when Trudeau emerged from the bus. I got jostled when the man in a blue shirt elbowed his way through. I cut out audio when obscenities became audible.
