While in line at a liberal rally, a group of conservative supporters started harassing people waiting in the lineup.

“There was a bunch of them. They were yelling at the people in the lineup. They were calling us names,” the Brantford Boomer said of the protesters, who were on the other side of the laneway, at least one holding an “F—k Carney” flag.

“They were shouting offensive comments about PM Carney’s daughter and describing RCMP members as “pedo protectors” and Carney supporters as “pedo lovers.”

“They had a megaphone where they were yelling out conspiracy theories, and there were cameras everywhere. They were filming us. They were taking our pictures.”

“What these people want is to discourage active participation in the politics of our country.” - the Brantford Boomer (What a legend)

The original paper that posted the story has a reporter married to the Conservative candidate for Elgin-Middlesex-London.

Also the people getting flipped off having Fuck Carney flags is HILARIOUS.

It's hilarious that Conservative supporters are trying to say that this is more offensive than shouting "Fuck Carney" through a megaphone.
