From Global News:
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau appeared at a rally on Monday amid the still-unfolding SNC-Lavalin affair, and the tone grew tense at times.
The rally, focused on climate change and taking place at Toronto’s Danforth Music Hall, saw protesters interrupt the prime minister repeatedly before they were quickly ushered out of the venue.
The first interruption happened as Trudeau addressed Jane Philpott’s resignation as president of the Treasury Board, which was announced earlier in the day.
“I want to thank her for her service,” Trudeau said. Then his podium shook.
He looked down as a protester held up a small banner advertising a hashtag, “#pigtrial2.”
The protester yelled as she was ushered away.
Another protester later held up a banner — and again, Trudeau kept speaking. The crowd soon broke out into cheers of “Trudeau! Trudeau! Trudeau!”
Trudeau then talked about tackling climate change so that people would still be able to enjoy the great outdoors.
Around that time, a melee broke out in the crowd, and a man appeared to shove a woman in a large group as the prime minister said: “Oh boy, oh boy.”
