There we go ... that's a much better and more accurate headline than the one supplied by Rebel News Obergruppenfuhrer Ezra Levant, who totally misrepresents what actually went down:
and if you think I'm kidding, well, as much as I dislike linking to anything Rebel, you can see everything you need in the first 30 seconds of the video here, so suck it up and watch that 30 seconds to see what I'm talking about.
To begin with, it's obvious that Trudeau is walking away from Humphrey and made it clear he doesn't want to interact with her. Rather than take the hint, Humphrey continues to dog him, her voice rising noticeably as she begins to yell at Trudeau, whereupon Humphrey finally just screams at Trudeau, "They're burning churches and vandalizing them, and you're not calling it a hate crime!!"
I think we can agree that, at that point, Humphrey was not -- as Ezra so dishonestly suggests -- "simply asking questions"; no, the video makes it absolutely clear that Trudeau wants nothing to do with deranged lunatic Humphrey even as she becomes abusive and simply screams accusations at Trudeau, at which point it would be idiotic if the RCMP did not step in and remove a clearly unhinged Humphrey from the area.
This was not a case of the RCMP shielding Trudeau from questions he didn't like; it was, rather, a case of the RCMP appropriately dealing with a deranged fucking menace that needs to be charged.
I'm glad we had this little chat.
P.S. We're not done here. Just so you know.
EZRA IS SUCH A LIAR: There is one more point we can make, and that is that Ezra is once again suggesting that Justin Trudeau is somehow personally responsible for having shrieking nutbar Humphrey removed. Watch the video again, though ... Trudeau is tolerating Humphrey but is clearly walking away, not wanting to engage with her. It is only once Humphrey gets belligerent and begins screaming at Trudeau that an RCMP officer comes up from behind Humphrey to get her out of the area.
There is nothing in that video clip that suggests Trudeau personally ordered Humphrey's removal; everything in that clip suggests the RCMP officer acted on his own accord to deal with a clearly demented wingnut who posed a potential danger to the Prime Minister.
So, yeah, Ezra is lying again. I'm sure you're shocked.
And we're still not done with this.
WELL, YOU KNEW IT WAS COMING: Fundraiser to sue whoever the fuck in 3 ... 2 ... 1 ... ah, there we go:

Based on that video, Humphrey needs to be banned from any and all Trudeau appearances. Fuck freedom of the press, that doesn't give fake journalists the right to scream at people who don't want to talk to them.
Seriously, she needs a restraining order taken out against her, and she needs to be put on some kind of RCMP "Do not admit under any circumstances" list.
She's a funny one. Her previous "journalism" experience seems to have been selling cheap bling on a facebook page. And she doesn't seem to have figured out that she's been added to the Rebel roster for one reason only.
How DARE you call us Racist? We have one black reporter?
Loved Ezra's intro.
"An accomplished journalist"? When he recruited her she was peddling trashy costume jewelry on YouTube under the name "Clueless Mama".
"A registered member of the Independent Press Gallery". The "independent press gallery" was established to issue "certificates" to video bloggers and others who don't actually adhere to journalistic standards. Their only criterion for member ship, quoted from their website: they must pledge to "remain independent from the government", which I assume is intended to exclude anyone working in ANY of the mainstream media whose publication receives grants or contributions under any local, provincial or federal program. Amusingly, their logo is formatted to look at first glance like a CBC logo, which I assume is intended to fool inattentive security personnel.
