Trudeau calls protest in Hamilton a "handful of angry people" that don't speak for the city

Canadians are going through “tough times,” Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday — but “angry” protests, he added, should remain peaceful despite those difficulties.

Asked about being swarmed by anti-government protesters during the Liberal cabinet retreat in Hamilton, Ont., Trudeau said that a "handful of angry people do not define what Hamilton is," and stated people are free to express their political views in a democracy.

He made the comment after footage emerged on social media of the prime minister being swarmed by a small but vocal group of demonstrators in Hamilton, Ont., on Tuesday night, where the Liberal cabinet retreat is taking place.
