Trudeau disrupted by yellow vest protesters at Toronto funding announcement

"SNIP....

As Trudeau took the podium, he could barely be heard over a small group of hecklers.

Trudeau announces $1.3 billion in funding to Toronto Community Housing.

A man using a megaphone could be heard calling the prime minister a traitor and claiming he “pander(s) to minorities” and the United Nations.

Trudeau continued to deliver his speech despite the disruption.

....

Video and photos taken at the announcement show a handful of protesters wearing yellow vests. One had a “make Canada great again” poster.

Trudeau was attempting (repeatedly) to interfere in the Canadian justice system for the sake of retaining votes in his home province of Quebec, otherwise an international architectural/engineering firm based in Quebec, which was attempting to blackmail the government, was going to pack up and move to London, England, taking thousands of jobs from the province.

Turns out that Trudeau had selected an attorney general who wasn't willing to play ball. She held her ground and told Trudeau time after time (directly and indirectly) that his attempts to intervene were unethical. She was demoted from her cabinet post and then went public with the details on the political interference in the justice system. Trudeau denied, denied, denied. His story shifted. She released an audio recording that made it crystal clear she was telling the truth.

Trudeau is now paying the consequences. His poll numbers are plummeting. Whether that holds until October, when the next Canadian federal election will be held, remains to be seen.

Part of the PC White Supremists. Good Canadians wiil keep them from winning the Federal election.

Already Ontarians are realizing Doug Ford's Pc's are going to destroy our Health and Education for the benefit of the elite and Corporations. Mass protests are happening.

Trudeau is not perfect but the Pc's ran Alberta into bankruptcy and Harper made our deficit rise higher than ever.

I do not want to see Canada turn into the USA, full of hate for people not white.
