OTTAWA - Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau, who swept to power on a wave of optimism in 2015, is set for an ugly reelection campaign this October, judging by exchanges with voters in public town halls this month where he was grilled on topics ranging from immigration to housing affordability.

Public unhappiness over illegal immigrants crossing the border from the United States is so great that the party will consider a promise to clamp down further.

A woman at a town hall in the province of Saskatchewan in Canada’s west, a region where the Liberals are in trouble, accused Trudeau of “working for your globalist partners” to betray Canada.

“What do we do with traitors in Canada, Mr. Trudeau? We used to hang them, hang them for treason,” the woman told the stunned prime minister after asking him about Moslem sharia law and Saudi Arabian oil imports.

In the Quebec town of Saint-Hyacinthe, a man dressed in a yellow vest swore loudly at Trudeau and accused him of selling out the country.

Infrastructure Minister Francois-Philippe Champagne, present in the hall at Saint-Hyacinthe as abuse was leveled at Trudeau, conceded, “There is a level of anxiety out there and we need to allow for these discussions to happen.”

But insiders say regardless of the insults, Trudeau intends to stick to his policy of avoiding public arguments.

The boy’s invitation to illegal immigrants
will probably cost him his Prime Minister thingie.

[I want the USA back]

He has hurt Canada real bad in the short time he has been in office.

Attendees should wear yellow vests to these events.

"Public unhappiness over illegal immigrants crossing the border from the United States is so great that the party will consider a promise to clamp down further."

Perhaps his opponent will run on the slogan to build a wall and make America pay for it. The sad thing is that Nancy will probably vote yes for that wall.

Otherwise known as stonewalling.

[TheGunny]

Just like another liberal ass-hat I know!

[Pollster1]

Justin Trudeau is, like Hillary and Barack, a traitor. Globalists who betray their own country disgust me.

“A wave of optimism”

What exactly is that supposed to mean?

[SpaceBar]

You dumbshit Canadians voted for him.

[Secret Agent Man]

Yeah and we got ineligible obama and rapist clinton and hitlery for two terms each.

Not a great record for us in the short term. Clinton let china screw us over and obungo let his muslim brothers screw us over.

[Buckeye McFrog]

You dumbshit Canadians voted for him.

Yes indeedy. In an absolute landslide. Could not wait to kick a guy to the curb who had brought you economic prosperity. Just like the Obamabots you just HAD to be the Cool Kids.

[leaning conservative]

He was all over the media like some movie star & then nothing the last few months.

[1Old Pro]

Canada is like California - Trudeau and Newsom are cut from the same metro sexual liberal cloth.

Too bad Maxime Bernier of The People’s Party of Canada couldn’t get a following. He’s a great admirer of Trump, from what I understand.

Trudeau looks a whole lot like Fidel Castro. Yes, I’ve heard the rumors........

“What do we do with traitors in Canada, Mr. Trudeau? We used to hang them

Trudeau, Merkel, Macron, May

Maxime Bernier, being from Quebec, has a near insurmountable disadvantage, caused by his heritage.

Western Canadians are sick to death of quebecois politicians.
