"I want to be clear. We are not intimated by those who hurl insults and abuse at small businesses and steal from the homeless. We won't give in to those who fly racist flags. We won't cave to those who engage in vandalism or dishonour the memory of our veterans," Justin Trudeau said on Monday. (File photo: Reuters)
