Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau cut short an event in Belleville, Ontario, on Thursday after his motorcade was surrounded by around 100 protestors.
According to CBC, the prime minister was in town to meet with the mayor and visit the farmer’s market to mark the seventh anniversary of the Liberal government’s Child Care Benefit when he was swarmed by protestors, unable to meet with all the vendors he had planned.
Video from the events shows Trudeau being escorted to his vehicle as those in attendance shout insults and expletives at him. Chants of “F*ck Trudeau” and others calling him a “traitor” broke out.

One woman waived a flag that resembled the Donald Trump MAGA flag with the words “F*ck Trudeau and F*ck you for voting for him” on it.
Probably not the welcome Trudeau was hoping for in Belleville!

Trudeau has increasingly been met with disapproval and crowds of protests from Canadian citizens. Earlier this week, he was booed during his speech at the opening ceremony of the North American Indigenous Games. As he left the stage the boos were almost as loud as the cheers.
In June, parents protested across the country and even outside Trudeau’s office against gender ideology being taught in schools. Chris Elston told The Post Millennial’s Beth Baisch at the time, “Everyone on our side of this has been too afraid to speak up, but those days are over,”
“People are learning about this, they’re learning how to speak about this, and we’re never gonna be quiet again,” he added.
Previously in January, protestors heckled the prime minister outside a Cabinet retreat in Ontario with similar chants. “For the last eight years Trudeau’s been trying to divide Canadians,” one man said. “If anything he’s made us closer together.”
“You will not get away with destroying Canada, Mr. Trudeau,” one protestor yelled into a megaphone. “You have betrayed Canada!”
Trudeau has been heckled or interrupted for much of his administration where protestors even threw rocks at him as he left a campaign stop in 2021.
