PRIME MINISTER PELTED WITH PUMPKIN SEEDS

A woman who threw pumpkin seeds at Prime Minister Justin Trudeau in Hamilton, Ont., Friday was questioned by the RCMP. Trudeau was leaving city hall after meeting the mayor, when the woman — identified by CBC News as Ute Schmid-Jones, who ran as a Green party candidate in last year’s federal election — hurled the seeds at him, shouting, “Keep your promises!” She was immediatel­y tackled to the ground by security. Earlier, she had been holding a banner reading “No New Pipelines.” Police said later Schmid-Jones has been released, but the matter is an “active investigat­ion.”
