{{quotebox-float|"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 know that following the science and stepping up to protect each other is the best way to ensure our rights, our freedoms, our values as a country."}}

A near-exact repeat of [[Hillary Clinton]]'s “basket of deplorables” speech, Trudeau’s description of “unacceptable views" instantly became a rallying cry,<ref>https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LmDkSQO5zeo&t=380s</ref> with people across the country lining the streets to cheer truckers while self-identifying as the “small fringe minority.” Everyone from high school kids to farmers and teachers and random marchers joined in as Trudeau’s own words were used to massively accelerate his troubles. Members of his party in parliament began criticizing Trudeau.

The head of a Trudeau-funded hate group posted a picture of an [[antisemitic]] flier on [[social media]] claiming it to have originated with the Freedom Convoy. Bernie Farber, who is listed as the chair of CAHN on the group’s website, posted a tweet stating, “Taken by a friend in Ottawa at the Occupation. Apparently in plain sight,” captioning a picture of an antisemitic flier. The Trudeau government has funded CAHN with hundreds of thousands of taxpayer dollars, giving the group $268,400 Canadian dollars (USD $211,526) in 2020. The picture of the flier, however, was not from the Ottawa trucker protests against vaccine passports, vaccine mandates and Wuhan coronavirus restrictions – it was from an unrelated event in Miami, Florida, and first posted on Twitter on January 23, 2022.<ref>https://www.breitbart.com/europe/2022/02/10/anti-hate-group-head-used-miami-anti-semitic-flyer-to-smear-truckers/</ref>
