OTTAWA—Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland made it official Sunday afternoon, telling a crowd full of supporters in Toronto that she is seeking the Liberal party leadership to replace Prime Minister Justin Trudeau.
Her launch event was repeatedly disrupted by pro-Palestinian protesters, including one who attempted to rush the stage as Freeland began her remarks.
“I am not going to let anyone stop me from working with you, from talking with you, and from talking about how we together are going to stand up for our amazing country,” she said at the St. Alban’s Boys and Girls Club in Toronto Sunday. “There are definitely people who want to stop us, but we are not going to let them.”
Chrystia Freeland kicks off her campaign by getting screeched at unintelligibly by some kook wearing a mask.

Hamas supporters are typically LPC/NDP so this is self defeating.
