Face to Face 2021: Justin Trudeau met 4 undecided voters. Here's what happened

Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau said keeping Canadians safe is his priority, and he will continue to stand up to anti-vaxxers and anti-lockdown protesters, while admitting there are some Canadians who will never get themselves vaccinated against COVID-19.

The Liberal leader said that keeping Canadians safe meant asking ourselves as a society "whether we're going to tolerate anti-vaxxers and fringe groups and people who want to take away women's rights and bring back guns. Or do we stand strong for the values that we know make us stronger as Canadians?" Trudeau made the remarks during the second instalment of The National Presents: Face to Face with the Federal Party Leaders, in which four undecided voters get five minutes to ask one of four federal party leaders about an issue close to their hearts. During one exchange with a voter, CBC chief political correspondent Rosemary Barton jumped in and pressed Trudeau on whether his ongoing confrontations with anti-lockdown and anti-vaxxers at campaign events across the country might be pushing these Canadians farther away from being vaccinated.  "There are very different groups we're talking about right now. The folks who are coming out screaming profanities at health-care workers are not going to be convinced by a well-meaning advertising campaign," Trudeau said.  Watch: Trudeau answers questions on divisions in society and hate from Puja Bagri of Pickering, Ont.: Asked if there were certain parts of the Canadian population he would just have to give up on, Trudeau said, indeed, there are.  "Some people you need to protect other Canadians from, and that's what I am unequivocal about doing," he said.
