Thank you.

The government uses the phrase over and over again that these were “thugs and hooligans” in Toronto. I must tell you that the people I've seen are young university students and people who wanted to peacefully protest. What's your observation? Were you “thugs and hooligans”? And were the people in that gym “thugs and hooligans”, the 70 or 100 people who you saw? What was your firsthand experience?
