Trudeau stokes divisions by branding the 17,000-strong Freedom Convoy in Ottawa as 'swastikas wavers': Anti-mandate protesters blockade busiest border crossing to US at Detroit
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau spoke out against trucker protests paralyzing Canada's capital city
Trudeau, speaking Monday on the floor of the legislature the first time since the crisis began, warned demonstrators they were affecting the economy and trying to undermine democracy
He branded protesters in Ottawa as a 'few people shouting and waving swastikas'
He dismissed opposition viewpoints that the trucks and big rigs parked throughout in Ottawa were a symbol of how bitterly divided the country was over the pandemic
'This is a story of a country that got through this pandemic by being united, and a few people shouting and waving swastikas does not define who Canadians are,' Trudeau said
