Nova Scotia (LifeSiteNews) – Protesters let Prime Minister Justin Trudeau know their true feelings about his tanking in the polls by heckling him with loud drum beats and screams during a recent press conference.
While making remarks in Halifax, Nova Scotia, on Tuesday about a $6 billion housing project, approximately 25 protesters could be heard beating traditional indigenous drums as well as screaming “honour treaty rights” and “You’re not wanted here.” The protesters were loud enough to drown out Trudeau while he gave his remarks about the government program.
The protest by the local indigenous peoples came after reports surfaced that two Indigenous fishermen in Nova Scotia were allegedly left by federal fisheries officers a long way from home.
Trudeau has claimed that Fisheries Minister Diane Lebouthillier will investigate the matter. However, that did not stop protesters from letting their true feelings about Trudeau be known.
The Liberal federal government has faced backlash, notably from the Conservative Party that high inflation, as well as sky-high immigration, has led to housing prices to skyrocket.
During the Tuesday press conference, Trudeau seemed to admit that his existing policies are letting in millions of temporary immigrants a year has been unsustainable but said his government would hold the course on allowing 500,000 permanent residents in yearly.
In 2022, Canada let in about 1 million temporary and permanent immigrants, which has led to the nation’s population reaching 40 million.
Protests against Trudeau have been increasing in recent months due to the unpopularity of higher carbon taxes as well as other governmental policies.
