Canada's Finest Thwart Terrorist Attack in Ottawa; Trudeau remains safe in secure, undisclosed location
/
An elderly man was cuffed and arrested in Ottawa for honking his horn in support of demonstrators on Sunday, a day before a judge outlawed honking, as protests against COVID-19 vaccine mandates rage on in the Canadian capital.
A bystander filmed while two officers pulled over Gerry Charlebois, 78, for beeping his horn.
'What did he do wrong?' the bystander asked. 'None of your f****** concern, man,' one officer responded.
'I was in shock,' Charlebois told the Toronto Sun. 'When (the police) pulled me over, he told me I was in trouble for honking the horn.'
Charlebois said he drove to the area to look at the trucks and planned on parking his van and walking to Parliament Hill.
'That's why I put my wallet in the back of the van,' he said. 'I was hoping to go in there, but when I got there I saw all of the commotion. I decided it was too much so I just looked from the van and then started to head home.'
Though he was at the protest in support of other demonstrators, he says he's fully vaccinated and plans to get his booster shot soon.
'He's just 4 foot 10,' said his son Steve, who added that they may have to take his dad to the hospital for an X-ray for his shoulder.
'He wouldn’t hurt anybody.'
