Prime Minister Justin Trudeau remarked on the convoy of trucks heading to Ottawa this week, saying that the “fringe minority” in the truck convoy with “unacceptable views” do not represent the way most Canadians feel. The comments came on the heels of reporting by Global News that far-right and white nationalist groups saw the convoy as an opportunity. Though truck convoy organizers have been adamant these extremists don’t represent the position of the protesters.
