Prime Minister Justin Trudeau was booed by a sold out crowd at Scotiabank Centre in Halifax while speaking at the North American Indigenous Games opening ceremony.
“Hello my friends” was all it took for the crowd to boo their Prime Minister.
Despite his attempt to smile through the booing, footage reveals the boos were fairly loud, causing Trudeau to pause and gather himself before proceeding.
It’s not the Prime Minister’s first time being booed by Indigenous Canadians.
Last year, on the other side of Canada, Trudeau’s trip to Kamloops, BC, ended in disaster, with a crowd of First Nations calling him a “criminal” and telling him to leave immediately.
Chaos erupted almost as soon as Trudeau arrived at Kamloops, where he was set to make a speech on Indigenous graves.
