“Violence in the political process, specifically violence during election campaigns, must be denounced and it must be deterred.”
Trudeau referred to crowds following his campaign as “anti-vaxxer mobs” and spent the last weeks of the race, which coincided with the fourth wave of the pandemic, campaigning on a pledge to mandate shots for federal workers and travellers on planes, trains and cruise ships.The People’s Party of Canada has previously said it removed a man by the same name as Marshall as riding association president after reviewing video clips of the stone throwing.
“Violence against political candidates, any political candidates, hurts our democracy as a whole,” he said. “Pies generally don’t injure people,” and are typically for humiliation, Carnegie said. The same does not apply to a handful of stones, he said.
