Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and his family shifted to a secret location after a large-scale protest opposing COVID-19 vaccine mandates converged on Parliament Hill, reports revealed on Sunday.
Trudeau's office has said it will not comment on his location for security reasons.
On Saturday, thousands held a street demonstration in Canada’s capital Ottawa against the Covid-19 vaccine mandates.

The so-called “Freedom Convoy” started out as a rally of truckers against a vaccine requirement for cross-border drivers, but turned into a demonstration against government overreach during the pandemic with a strong anti-vaccination streak.
“I’m not able to work no more because I can’t cross the border,” said Csava Vizi, a trucker from Windsor who noted he was the family’s sole breadwinner.
“I refuse the vaccine,” he said, calling it dangerous. He spoke from inside his truck in front of parliament.
On his part, Trudeau has strongly condemned the growing anti-mandate movement in the country as contrary to public health and Canadian values of kindness.
“The small fringe minority of people who are on their way to Ottawa who are holding unacceptable views that they are expressing do not represent the views of Canadians who have been there for each other, who know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to continue to ensure our freedoms, our rights, our values, as a country,” Trudeau said.
