00:00:00.000 Over the past few days, Canadians were shocked and, frankly, disgusted
00:00:05.160 by the behavior displayed by some people protesting in our nation's capital.
00:00:10.260 Hate can never be the answer.
00:00:13.580 I want to be very clear.
00:00:14.840 We are not intimidated by those who hurl insults and abuse at small business workers
00:00:21.600 and steal food from the homeless.
00:00:25.200 We won't give in to those who fly racist flags.
00:00:28.900 We won't cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonor the memory of our veterans.
00:00:36.440 Tous les Canadiens ont le droit d'exprimer leur opinion ou leur désaccord avec leur gouvernement,
00:00:42.120 mais ils n'ont pas le droit de menacer ou de harceler leurs concitoyens,
00:00:46.880 ni de propager des messages de haine.
00:00:49.760 There is no place in our country for threats, violence, or hatred.
00:00:54.900 So to those responsible for this behavior, it needs to stop.
00:00:59.980 To anyone who joined the convoy but is rightly uncomfortable with the symbols of hatred and division on display,
00:01:08.500 join with your fellow Canadians.
00:01:10.940 Be courageous and speak out.
00:01:14.140 Do not stand for or with intolerance and hate.
00:01:19.020 And to Canadians at home, watching in disgust and disbelief at this behavior,
00:01:24.620 wondering how this could have happened in our nation's capital
00:01:28.020 after everything we've been through, the behavior on display this weekend does not represent you.
00:01:35.300 Hateful rhetoric, abuse towards their fellow citizens,
00:01:39.380 there is always a right to protest peacefully that I and others will defend fully as part of this democracy.
00:01:46.800 There is not a right to incite violence, perform acts of violence, or to spew hatred.
00:01:55.480 And I think anyone who is part of this group, who is disgusted by what their folks protesting alongside are doing,
00:02:06.400 needs to step up and take responsibility, condemn these actions,
00:02:10.960 and look for other ways to express their displeasure.
00:02:13.220 Thank you very much for the expression of hatred and intolerance we've seen among these protesters.
00:02:18.500 I want to thank you.
