Transport Minister Omar Alghabra says hateful images at the trucker convoy’s rally against vaccine mandates and COVID-19 restrictions can’t be ignored as Canadians reflect on the weekend that has brought thousands of protesters to Ottawa’s capital. He also expresses that he shares frustrations with Canadians over public health measures but stresses they're there to protect against COVID-19.

What’s alarming is the whole country coming together like never before and making world history. That’s what’s alarming Mr.Alghabra you little weasel.
“Little weasel” I llike that, the only difference between him and the Weasel is, a Weasel is a very honest creature.
Funnily enough the minster does look like a shifty eyed little weasel
@Deana Bell Ming Lu is that you?
@dean labounty Well we can’t be having too many voles and mice.
@Deana Bell send him packing to Saudi Arabia!!!
This is the most out of touch government I’ve ever seen in Canada.
But yet they kept winning the election… is there any hope?
lol this must be the 1st government you’ve actually paid any attention to
“Am I out of touch? No it’s everyone else” – Principal Skinner and our transport Minister apparently.
These are Canadian citizens not racists. I didn’t see one confederate flags just Canadian flags and the other flags from different counties the 8 hours I was out there yesterday. This minister obviously didn’t go there to see for himself. And this is not just about mandates for truckers. It’s about lockdowns and mandates affecting all Canadians.
@J B I’m a Confederate 🙂
@adem emre sadıkoğlu I love the Confederacy and what it stands for
Perhaps not all anti-vax are far-right extremists
but all far-right extremists are anti-vax
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for talking for me. really appreciated.
Last summer? This guy is off by an entire year!
lol yes
I think you can leave out “year”. He is off, full stop
It’s all mandates not just trucking.
Exactly !
Most mandates are PROVINCIAL not FEDERAL.
Perhaps some of these folks should have paid more attention in their civics classes
before trekking across the country
This guy is a clown.
Little commie Smurf can’t admit the truth
@Alfons Poppe Are you calling this guy a Smurf because that’s what I call Freeland is Smurfette. lol
Seriously homely..
@Naz Gul Look at him – lots of Jewish features.
@Naz Gul By repeating the mantra: Yes, Justin; so smart, Justin.
That’s the point! We all have a voice!
We are Canadian!
Let’s Go Canada!!!
We ain’t going nowhere!! Together we stand!!!!!
Doesn’t Omar look and sound VERY NERVOUS? Tick Tock!
This is the best arguement they can bring forward? Our current politicians are pathetic. Get them all out especially this weasel.
It’s a full collapse on display. It reminds me of the final days of Romanian dictator Ceausescu. Hopefully it ends the same.
Definition of a Racist: a conservative who won an argument with a liberal.
You cannot deny this is happening. We are watching from New Mexico
All of these bureaucrats and politicians have to go
When a child doesn’t get what they wants what does the child do exactly what the Prime Minister is doing!
He’s not the one laying on his car horn in a public street
@Stewart Cornelisse No, he is literally hiding like a coward.
@Stewart Cornelisse he is the one hiding behind his child.
he’s a rich coward living off a trust fund he’s lucky its horns and not the wip!!!
Sad to hear instead of addressing the concern of its citizenry about their objection to restrictive mandates he quickly jump into the hateful imagery and language of the protest, but the reality says otherwise. It’s about people’s pain and suffering, losing businesses and prolonged separation of loved ones. The government seem to be blind of the ill effects of the mandate they are imposing without looking for other ways to find the balance. Inoculation is not the only way to end the pandemic, development of anti-viral medication and healthy lifestyle to promote robust immune system should also be considered.
Welcome to The Twilight Zone
Both of these guys took a vow to Lucifer.
There’s Sikh truckers, indigenous, everyone!!
They have to listen to the science and 80% of the population who don’t support these fringe truckers.
Wow… how many accounts did you cut n paste this from 😆

Not to mention cheaper earlier treatments and also natural immunity. That’s where we need to start
When you jump through all the government hoops for two years and lose you basic rights, and it buys you NOTHING, this is what happens, and the Trudeau government has nothing to say except……. “mosque shooting, holocaust, blah blah blah” they dont even pretend to address the ISSUE.
So frustrating to see this minister so tone deaf. Looking for any excuse to demonize the rally.
Deflection, scapegoating …..
Transport Minister Omar Alghabra is a perfect reason to have recall built into every election.
Ready to lose again?
There is a recall. You can exercise it by collecting signatures. I don’t know the percentage. It’s been done before I believe
Canadians have the right to protest! The protest wants their concerns addressed! Trudeau and transportation minster are not addressing the issues!
Trudeau showing the world what a great leader he is whos got no ballz to face the crowds 😆
@Pittie life 😂 Protestors don’t run the government. I am not a big fan of Trudeau but do you think he owes protestors a face to face? Never seen that before anywhere😆Not even Jan 6. Security was ushering Congressmen and the Vice President away from the peaceful protest during that demonstration to safety.
This movement is not limited to Canada. The anti mandate movement is happening in Germany, Austria, France, Sweden. Some of these countries have already reduced mandates.
Canada continues to defend theirs.
Sounds like more canadians need to do their part and go to Ottawa!!
