Conservative Leader Erin O'Toole says peaceful demonstration needs to be the focus of a truck convoy rolling into Ottawa to protest a vaccine mandate for truckers.
Even as reports surface of people trying to push extreme ideas as part of the convoy, Conservative finance critic Pierre Poilievre says it has his support and the extremist views held by some shouldn't be seen as a reflection on the whole event.
His remarks follow concerns raised about individuals belonging to extremist groups latching on to the demonstration headed to Parliament Hill.
Ottawa's Parliamentary Protective Service is expecting 10-thousand protesters this weekend to push back against COVID-19 lockdowns and vaccination mandates.
The group billing itself as Canada Unity is demanding that the Governor General and Senate combine forces to lift any remaining COVID-19 restrictions, waive all fines and cancel ``illegal'' vaccine passports.
