The concerns are outlined in assessments by the national police force's intelligence personnel that were tabled as part of evidence presented at a public inquiry probing the Trudeau government's use of the Emergencies Act in response to last winter's protests
OTTAWA — The RCMP worried that after arriving in Ottawa, participants in the "Freedom Convoy" would try to pinpoint Prime Minister Justin Trudeau's location, documents suggest — just as demonstrators had tried to do during last year's election campaign. The weeks-long demonstrations, which blockaded downtown Ottawa and several border crossings, were driven by opposition to COVID-19 restrictions such as mask and vaccine requirements.
According to a threat assessment prepared Jan. 26 — just days before thousands of protesters, many of them in heavy trucks, began descendingon downtown Ottawa — RCMP analysts warned that Trudeau's residence might be a target for demonstrators. Once protesters arrived in large numbers, Trudeau and his family were ultimately moved to an undisclosed location for security reasons.
Conversations speculating about Trudeau's location "continue to circulate on social media," the report said.
