Protesters interrupt Freeland’s official campaign launch for Liberal leader

Chrystia Freeland pitched herself to Canadians Sunday, launching her official campaign a day after she announced her intent to run for leader of the Liberal party.
But shortly after the event kicked off it was interrupted by dozens of protesters - some of whom even stormed the stage.
Mackenzie Gray has more on the protesters demands, and how Freeland responded.

In 9 years they've totally crippled Canada. Debt has doubled and we currently spend more on paying off the interest than our whole Health Care System annually. Food Bank uses doubled.

In fact, the decline since 2019 is one of the longest and deepest in the country's history.

You poor, poor thing! Wither you acknowledge it or not there's been a global economic slowdown due to the Global Pandemic & Russian War on Ukraine that neither Trudeau nor Canada has a whole lot of say about because our own contributions to the UN/NATO & Humanitarian Aid are so low. Our National Dept to GDP Ratio & Deficit to GDP Ratio is the lowest in the G7. The IMF predicts Canada's GDP Growth will be the strongest in the G7 through out 2025... Canada's come through the pandemic with far fewer deaths than most EU Countries let alone the USA & a far stronger economy Home prices have actually dropped significantly & despite the drop of interest rates faster than any other G7 country Home prices have remained low
