In tense campaign, Canada's Trudeau defends snapping at protester
The Peninsula
RICHMOND, British Columbia - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau on Tuesday defended his decision to shout at a protester who insulted his wife, Sophie Gregoire, as an increasingly tense election race entered its final days.
Trudeau, who has been heckled repeatedly by people protesting mandatory COVID-19 vaccinations and at one point was hit by gravel, reacted sharply on Monday when preparing for an outdoor interview ahead of the Sept. 20 vote.
When a man yelled derogatory and profane remarks about Gregoire, Trudeau shouted back: "Isn't there a hospital you should be going to bother right now?"
