WINNIPEG — Justin Trudeau‘s news conference at a Winnipeg daycare was interrupted by a protester who called the prime minister a scumbag.
Staff from the Prime Minister’s Office said the man gained entry to the event claiming to be a member of the “world alternative media.”
He carried a camcorder as he heckled Trudeau about the carbon tax while the prime minister answered other questions.
