Covid-19: Canadian protesters throw gravel at Justin Trudeau

From Morning Report, 6:48 am on 8 September 2021

Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has been hit by gravel thrown by protesters during a campaign stop.

While he wasn't injured, this is the latest disruption by demonstrators on the campaign trail after he called a snap election in mid-August, in the hope of gaining a majority government.

His campaign has been especially targeted by those protesting Covid-19 vaccine mandates.
