Trudeau speaks without a teleprompter. He talks about supporters who came to event tonight who wanted to see him, and how event had to be cancelled in case some of them would get hurt. To the protesters: “I know and I feel the anger, the frustration, perhaps the fear.” 
.@jpress asks Trudeau to reflect as to whether he played any role in inflaming tensions by telling protesters repeatedly to go get vaccinated. He says we all need to reflect. Science tells us the way out of this.
I asked Trudeau what was different about tonight compared to 2019, when there was a security threat (also in Brampton) and he put on a vest, went out and addressed the rally. “What’s different about tonight is we could not guarantee the safety of the people in attendance.”
To @kkirkup he said “I’ve never seen this intensity of anger” before.
