Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said on Jan. 25 that he received an “extraordinary” and “warm” welcome from people in Hamilton and that the “angry” people who protested his stay in the city do not represent democracy in Canada.

“The welcome that I’ve gotten here in Hamilton has been extraordinary. The people I’ve met, the students here, the folks and teams that I met in various places during a couple of days here have been thoughtful, and open, and warm,” Trudeau said while answering whether he felt safe as protesters swarmed him in the street the previous  day.
