Thin skin: Trudeau cites smear campaign against Freeland in justifying banishment of Russian diplomats

Just-a-Nazi Trudeau's Nazi meltdown

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has linked the recent expulsion of four Russian diplomats to last year's alleged smear campaign directed against Foreign Affairs Minister Chrystia Freeland.

He offered it up as evidence of attempts to interfere with democracy in Canada, but stopped short of directly accusing the individuals who have been ordered out of the country.
