Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared flustered when asked a question about the upcoming anniversary of the Truckers’ Convoy, several social media outlets report. A reporter pointed out that there was a “heightened police presence and protestors outside” and asked Trudeau if he had reflected on the meaning of the Convoy in the past 12 months.

“I don’t know….I think that’s a question you would be better to ask Pierre Poilievre, he seems a lot closer to the Convoy,” Trudeau snapped.

Trudeau made three stops in the city: the University of Windsor, Windsor Assembly Plant and Willistead Manor for a party fundraiser. He didnโ€™t make any government announcements during his stops, but did reiterate his governmentโ€™s support for the auto industry. It is common practice in all political parties to tack some form of official business on to a fundraising event so that travel expenses can be attributed to the member’s government office, rather than coming from the political party’s budget.
