Trudeau calls on all parties to denounce ‘illegal’ trucker occupations, blockades
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau held a meeting with leaders of opposition parties Thursday evening, where he said he briefed them on the latest developments of the trucker convoy protests and blockades.
In a statement on Twitter, Trudeau said he stressed how important it is for every party to “denounce these illegal acts — and to call for an end to these blockades.” The teleconference meeting occurred between Trudeau, Opposition Leader and interim Conservative Leader Candice Bergen, Bloc Quebecois Leader Yves-Francois Blanchet and NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh, sources confirmed to Global News.
Trudeau also said he spoke with the mayor of Windsor, Ont., Drew Dilkens, before the meeting to talk about the trucker blockade at the Ambassador Bridge, the busiest border crossing for the U.S.
and Canada. Trudeau said the federal government is “committed” to helping Dilkens and Ontario “get the situation under control,” but did not provide details of how. Read more: Ottawa police say ‘flood’ of false 911 calls came ‘significantly’ from U.S.
