Horwath calls the protestors violent extremists and warns of another convoy hitting the GTA this weekend.
Official Opposition leader Andrea Horwath has written a letter to Doug Ford asking him to put an end to the protest in Ottawa.
She is calling on Ford to use every tool at his disposal to end the chaos and disruption at the National capital.
In the letter, Horwath calls the protestors violent extremists and warns of another convoy planning to descend on the GTA this weekend.
'Worryingly, the Legislative Protective Service has just informed all members of our Assembly that additional actions may soon take place in our provincial capital at Queen’s Park. Peaceful demonstrations are always welcome here at Queen’s Park — but the potential for violent, hateful behaviour and messaging is unacceptable."
She states that workers and residents of downtown Ottawa are under siege.
"Thousands of retail workers have had their shifts cancelled and paycheques slashed because of the forced closures of local businesses. Residents have been left to fend for themselves in their own streets, and to endure endless noise. Reports of heinous acts are being shared: antisemitism, homophobia, transphobia, anti-Black racism and hate of all kinds — occurring seemingly without any consequences. Confederate flags and Nazi swastikas are being flown without any repercussions. The most venerable symbols of our nation, including the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier and the statue of Terry Fox, are being desecrated."
