election campaign stop in Bolton, Ont., that was hounded by angry protesters was cancelled on Friday due to safety concerns, a party spokesperson said.Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was set to speak at the event, which was delayed for nearly two hours before the party made the decision to pull the plug — an extremely rare move in Canadian politics.It wasn’t exactly clear what specific concerns led to the cancellation.
Media following the party on the campaign trail were told “security concerns” were a factor, although the public statement to supporters said “safety reasons.”The party later restaged the event in Brampton, with Trudeau still attending along with local Liberal candidates.
