TRUDEAU MAY HAVE KNOWN HECKLER WAS ALT-RIGHT ACTIVIST

-

The Prime Minister’s Office is refusing to say precisely when — or even if — Justin Trudeau knew he was dealing with an alt-right activist when he denounced her questions about the cost of “illegal immigrants” in Quebec as racist. Former RCMP officer Chris Mathers says: “There’s no doubt that lady was a plant in there ... to try and embarrass the prime minister, because she’s one of these fringy types,” noting PMO security officials routinely monitor intelligen­ce for potential threats or disturbanc­es at public events.
