Ottawa, Canada: Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau: who has slipped into the polls and faced the angry demonstrators on the road of the campaign, with one even throwing stones in him, he is fighting with less than two weeks to go before the elections.When he called the elections of September 20 a few weeks ago, the 49-year-old liberal party leader was in a much better position.
At that time, Trudeau was ahead of the conservative leader Erin O’Toole in opinion polls and hoped to assemble his handling of the Coronavirus pande
mic to a third term.
But from that announcement of August 15, the campaign has stagnated and the hopes of Him returning at the head of a major government is difficult to fulfill.
On Monday, Trudeau suffered a new indignity, as he was leaving an event in London, a city southwest of Toronto in the province of Ontario, confronted a multitude of angry protesters with the mandatory vaccines of Coronavirus and other measures of crisis.
Someone threw himself what seemed to be a handful of gravel on him, showed television images. Nobody was hurt.
“Yes, I felt something of that gravel,” Trudeau confirmed on Tuesday.
Some protesters “were practically foaming in the mouth, they were so angry with me,” he said, and added: “It is absolutely unacceptable that people (would be) throwing things and endangers others in a political rally.”
The incident, which comes for a week of crucial campaign with two scheduled debates that could tilt the scales of the elections, attracted the conviction of the rivals of Trudeau, O’Toole and the new leader of the Democratic Party Jagmeet Singh.
“Political violence is never justified,” O’Toole tweeted Monday at last time, while Singh said: “It is not acceptable tothrow objects to anyone. Never. No matter what is angry. And, it’s never okay to treat to intimidate people who do not agree with you, or the media “.
Slide on the polls –
Trudeau is now in a dead statistical heat with O’Toole, with 34 percent support for liberals and 32 percent for Tories, according to a Nano survey launched on Tuesday, a difference that is within the margin of error of the poll.
The Prime Minister has faced several recent occasions with what he described as “MOBS Anti-Vaxxer” and “a small element of fringes in this country that is angry, who does not believe in science.”
The protesters have shouted racial and misogynous insults in the entourage of him.
The demonstrations also directed to hospitals throughout Canada who are struggling with a sudden increase in Covid cases, and candidate signs of the lawn have been disfigured with an anti-Semitic graffiti.
At the end of August, Trudeau was forced to cancel an event on safety concerns.
