Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau faced more hecklers and criticism from Canadian voters last night as his town hall was rudely interrupted on multiple occasions. One person had to be escorted out by police forces.
As we reported, earlier this week Mr Trudeau faced criticism from voters as he was asked “why do you think it’s OK to give $10.5 million to a person that killed a soldier?” <a href="https://thegoldwater.com/news/15696-Canada-PM-Trudeau-Attacked-For-10m-Payout-To-Gitmo-Terrorist"> in reference to the payout that his Canadian government made to a former Gitmo prisoner accused of murdering a US soldier </a>.

Last night, Mr Trudeau was on the road again, trying to persuade voters to keep supporting his liberal party. Once again, Mr Trudeau was met with criticism, but this time, it wasn’t all that kind.

At first, an unknown woman stood up in the crowd and started shouting about free speech, the security threat posed by Canadians who left to join ISIS and are now beginning to return home as well as the decision to locate the town hall at a university, thus ensuring a mostly friendly crowd for Mr Trudeau.

Furthermore, another video appeared online of a heckler who once again asked why Mr Trudeau chose to pay out Mr Omar Khadr.

It is by now becoming quite clear that Mr Trudeau, just as his predecessor whom he criticized for removing hecklers, will have no choice but to face up to criticism for poor decisions. Should he decide to continue to have town hall meetings, he’ll better get ready for some serious questioning. Seems Canadians are not all too pleased with his handling of certain issues.
