OTTAWA — Conservatives are denying any association with protesters who harassed Jagmeet Singh, among others, outside of Parliament Hill this week after Liberal ministers accused them of lending their support.
A video circulated online Tuesday showing two men following the NDP leader, as one of them appears to call him a"corrupted bastard."The two men denied making the remark and appeared to back off, which prompted Singh to call one of them a"coward" for not saying it to his face.
The immigration minister went on to accuse Conservative Leader Pierre Poilievre of playing"footsies" with the group of protesters and called on him to"repudiate" the harassment by"people that support him." "I went to a restaurant in Ottawa to have dinner. At the restaurant, I was recognized by a group of people who approached me and took photos. I am in no way associated with these individuals and was not meeting with them," Cooper said.
A group of protesters gathered on Monday in Ottawa for the first day of the fall sitting, harassing politicians, staff and journalists who were entering and exiting the House of Commons.
