You\u2019ve attended rallies on the hill of the past, including during a Black Lives Matter protest and others. Is there a reason that you can give us for why you will not discuss or have any negotiations with this particular group?<\/span><\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trudeau said he attended Black Lives Matter protests due to political agreement with their protesters:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p>I have attended protests and rallies in the past when I agree with the goals, [and] when I supported the people expressing their concerns and their issues. Black Lives Matter is an excellent example of that. But I have also chosen to not go anywhere near protests that have expressed hateful rhetoric, violence towards fellow citizens, and a disrespect \u2013 not just of science \u2013 but of the frontline health workers and, quite frankly, the 90 percent of truckers who have been doing the right thing [by receiving coronavirus vaccines] to keep Canadians safe to put food on our tables.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n<p>Trudeau derided protesters in Ottawa as advocates of \u201cconspiracy theories\u201d hostile to \u201cscience.\u201d He accused them of spreading \u201cmisinformation\u201d and \u201cdisinformation about vaccines.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"M-ROS-B2\" class=\"a8d\"><\/figure>\n<p><span class=\"video-src-attr\">CPAC<\/span><\/p>\n<p>He stated:<\/p>\n<blockquote>\n<p><span> Vaccines are safe and effective.

They\u2019re due to COVID-19 [Chinese coronavirus].
