The reporter said to Pierre “You’ve been criticized for your support for the trucker convoy, one of your fellow candidates has even said you should be disqualified for leadership of the party.  Has your opinion on the trucker convoy change since? And is your support of the truckers a liability moving forward?”

Pierre responds that his position has not changed. “I said at the very outset before they even arrived. But I simultaneously stood with a law abiding and peaceful truckers who were fighting for their livelihoods and liberties, while condemning any individual who breaks the law blocks critical infrastructure behaves badly. That is the position I took, then it’s the position I take now.”

Pierre says that Jean Charest, “learned about the trucker convoy on CBC like other liberals, and he misrepresented them. He believes that I should be censored, he believes I should be canceled from this leadership, race and disqualified in his words, because I don’t share his liberal viewpoint.”

We know what this woke business is about, right? What is it about is dividing people, dividing them by race, gender, sexuality, vaccination status, every other by next year, they’ll have invented a new way to divide our people, won’t they? They will find a way to divide our people. And it’s ironic that Trudeau is always talking about these issues because of his ugly racist past himself. Some people say, Isn’t it ironic?

Isn’t it ironic that someone who has such an ugly history with racism likes to chastise other people on the same subject and you know what isn’t actually very consistent, because back then, when he was a young racist, he liked to divide people on race. And now he likes to divide people on race. He’s always dividing people. It is not a new tactic. It’s the oldest trick in the book. It’s called divide and conquer, right? This is what they’re doing. If they can make you afraid of your neighbor, that they can get you fighting with your coworker. If they can get you thinking that the trucker who puts food on your table is a risk and a danger.

You can make you look around and see nothing but risks around every corner, that he thinks he’ll get you to turn to him and offer him ever more power over your life. That’s the trick. Ladies and gentlemen, when I become prime minister, we are going to put an end to the fear. We’re going to unite our people. We’re going to instill a quality in all of our citizens regardless of race, nationality, sexuality, vaccine status or any other irrelevant characteristic. We are going to replace we are going to have a prime minister that loves all of our people we are going to replace divide and conquer with unite for freedom
