Trudeau lashes out at protester who made sexist slur about his wife
CBC
Liberal Leader Justin Trudeau was met with more angry protesters Monday, including one man who challenged him to a fight and hurled a slur about his wife.
Trudeau pulled his mask down to yell at the heckler, who was pacing back and forth, yelling profanities and waving his arms outside the Global News studio in Burnaby, B.C., where the Liberal leader had arrived to do an interview, according to footage captured by Global News. "Isn't there a hospital you should be going to bother right now?" Trudeau said sarcastically to the demonstrator. His comment came just hours after Trudeau announced a plan to make it a criminal offence for demonstrators to block access to hospitals and intimidate health-care workers. The verbal exchange was also on the same day as a series of protests were staged outside hospitals and medical centres, including in Toronto, Calgary, Edmonton, Charlottetown, Montreal, Halifax, Winnipeg, and Ottawa. Crowds varied in size from over a dozen to more than 100 people. The demonstrations were organized by two Ontario nurses who have promoted conspiracy theories about COVID-19. The organizers also attended rallies in the U.S. for those who think the pandemic is a "fraud." WATCH |Trudeau to heckler: 'Isn't there a hospital you should be going to bother?'
