Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was on Saturday heckled by protesters during a townhall as he defended his government’s decision to support the expansion of a trans-mountain pipeline through British Columbia (BC).
The prime minister was greeted by a chorus of boos amidst cheers by another section of people as he walked into the Vancouver Island University hall at Nanaimo town in British Columbia during the last lap of his cross country tour, according to CBC.
