Usually there have been supporters screaming and shouting out protestors. Not the case at this Nobleton Ont. stop for @JustinTrudeau as he waves at the demonstrators before walking in. #cdnpoli#elexn44
PA announces @JustinTrudeau event's cancellation as media shuttled back on to bus. As this was happening I watched RCMP detail explain to one man he cannot get close to the bus. #cdnpoli#elxn44
Here's the anno that was read out:
Protestors walking after media bus as it leaves. #cdnpoli#Elxn44
@JustinTrudeau about to address media at an undisclosed location after security threat cancelled earlier event. Watch live on @CBCNews . #cdnpoli#elxn44
"We had a lovely event planned tonight," @JustinTrudeau says. Thanks the volunteers who had shown up. Says going ahead with event would have put them at risk. #cdnpoli#elxn44
@JustinTrudeau says he will not stop talking to Canadians about the future, "it's especially important because of the past year and a half that we've had." #cdnpoli#elxn44
Trudeau says "those folks out protesting had a difficult year too."
Says the anger has to be met with compassion. "We need to listen to each other and lean on each other."
No protestors here. Just @JustinTrudeau , media, his local candidates. Security still standing right behind us.
Asked if he's played a role enflaming some of the rhetoric. @JustinTrudeau says it's really important for everyone to reflect on the role we've played. #cdnpoli#elxn44
"We have to stand strong for what we know to be true," @JustinTrudeau says. @ICILouisBlouin asks him if he regrets politicizing vaccinations. "Non je ne changerai pas mon discours." There's no debate on vaccination, as there isn't on climate change he says. #cdnpoli
"When we stop listening to each other we start going toward a dangerous direction," @JustinTrudeau says. #cdnpoli
"What's different about tonight is that we couldn't guarantee the safety of the people in attendance," @JustinTrudeau says, asked why he went out to talk in 2019 in a kevlar vest despite security threat, but not tonight. #cdnpoli#elxn44
"I've never seen this intensity or anger," @JustinTrudeau says, not when he was a kid visiting out west with his father, not in his last 12 years as a politician. #cdnpoli#elxn44
Missed tweeting this earlier due to filing duties but Conservative leader @erinotoole has condemned the rhetoric at @JustinTrudeau campaign events as well. #cdnpoli#elxn44
Dufferin-Caledon's Conservative incumbent @kyleseeback says supporters of his who attended the @JustinTrudeau protest no longer welcome on his campaign:
Protestors again at Trudeau's next event. Supporters here too. Some of the completely illogical screaming: "crimes against humanity," a bunch of swearing.
Yelling at journalists again. We were told we'd burn in hell. #cdnmedia#elxn44
"He's supposed to talk to the people," says one of the protestors, yelling at a police officer.
We are in the Quebec City-area riding of Beauport-Limoilou this morning waiting for Liberal leader @JustinTrudeau to make an an announcement on seniors. #cdnpoli#elxn44
@JustinTrudeau has arrived, but its neither he or local candidate Ann Gingras who speaks up first, but adjacent Québec riding incumbent @jyduclos , who squeaked by the Bloc for a victory w/ a few hundred votes in 2019. Duclos says he's thrilled Gingras is part of team.
We're waiting for @JustinTrudeau to show up at an event in a backyard in Surrey this a.m. Protestors outside. Colleagues have identified at least one who followed Liberals from Hamilton Ontario yesterday to Surrey BC today. Would not say if he's w/ an organization. #cdnpoli
@JustinTrudeau up now, says it is such a treat to be back in BC, his second home. He's flanked by Gordie Hogg, who is running for Liberals in Surrey South White Rock, currently held by Conservatives.
@JustinTrudeau in part reiterating yesterday's housing anno. But also this: raising corporate tax rates on banks, insurance companies on earnings over $1 billion from 15 to 18 per cent.

@JustinTrudeau starts off his news conference by stating situation w/ #COVID19 very serious across country.
"Everyone is working around the clock to get as many Canadians vaccinated as quickly as possible," he says, a few hours after we've heard @US_FDA reco to hit pause on Johnson and Johnson vaccine. (BG here: cbc.ca/news/world/joh…)
"On est tous tannés de la #COVID19 ," @JustinTrudeau says, saying the events in Montreal (storefronts were shattered a couple of nights ago) show everyone is tired, but have to keep following public health guidelines. #cdnpoli#qcpoli#yul
For those keeping track it's Alberta's third daily record in a row and fourth time we've passed the 1,000 new cases per day mark.
The two big cities account for most of the 11, 274 active cases: Calgary's @ 4,394 and Edmonton @ 4,941.
When the province was gearing up to reopen in May, Calgary had been @ 1,011 cases, Edmonton at 53. google.ca/amp/s/www.cbc.…
@CMOH_Alberta says the current context is "grim," says 1,155 new cases since yesterday. Third time in a week we've reached over 1,000 new cases threshold. Eleven new cases. cbc.ca/news/canada/ed…
@CMOH_Alberta says two individuals died in their 30s this week. They had co-morbidities, but not on their own "life-threatening."
@AHS_media working to increase capacity for #COVID19 patients if needed.
