OTTAWA — Trucks with horns blaring and a noose dangling from a hand-held prop resembling a gallows were the backdrop of a protest outside a Liberal party fundraiser in Surrey, B.C. on Tuesday night that grew so ugly Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was forced to cancel his appearance.
Tensions amid a group of protesters estimated at about four dozen escalated to the point where Royal Canadian Mounted Police decided it wasn’t safe for the prime minister to attend, the RCMP confirmed to the Star Wednesday.
Trudeau did not enter the building, but later addressed the crowd of 140 for about three minutes via video link.
