Federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh said that protesters yelled “horrible” things — including calls for his death — as he left a rally at the campaign office of Ontario NDP candidate Jen Deck in downtown Peterborough on Tuesday.
Among the protesters were some people who’ve been outspoken at rallies and online about their objections to COVID-19 health measures such as vaccines.
Some protesters shouted “traitor” at federal NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh Tuesday afternoon after he showed support for Peterborough-Kawartha NDP candidate Jen Deck at her campaign office on George Street in downtown Peterborough.He added he thinks it’s fine for people to protest any event he attends. Social media videos emerged showing Singh exiting the rally — which he described as “a beautiful event” — to find people yelling at him that he’s a traitor to Canada.Peterborough Police weren’t called to the scene on Tuesday — they hadn’t been aware of Singh’s visit, but they said Wednesday they have reached to Singh.
“I will always encourage respectful protest and I do not condone hate speech and violence in any form,” she stated in a message. Deck is running in the June 2 provincial election Peterborough-Kawartha against Progressive Conservative incumbent Dave Smith, Greg Dempsey , Robert Gibson , Tom Marazzo , Rebecca Quinnell and Dylan Smith .
