Trudeau cranky at TownHall guy asking for Canada's Clinton Foundation donations to be reimbursed bc Pizzagate https://globalnews.ca/news/5038983/andrew-scheer-pizzagate-justin-trudeau/ Prime Minister Justin Trudeau has criticized Conservative Party Leader Andrew Scheer over his response to a man who invoked the “Pizzagate” conspiracy theory while asking a question at a town hall in Kitchener, Ont. on Thursday. Scheer has countered by saying Trudeau’s criticism shows the prime minister is “desperate to try to change the channel from his own corruption scandal.” The controversy arose after a man at Scheer’s town hall touched on the debunked Pizzagate theory over the course of a rambling two-minute question in which he criticized the Trudeau government’s decision to donate money to organizations like the Clinton Foundation. Pizzagate is an unfounded conspiracy theory that claims Democrats in the U.S. harbour child sex slaves at a Washington, D.C., pizza restaurant. The rumour prompted a gunman to fire an assault weapon inside the restaurant in 2016.

It is in the Pizzagate,” the town hall attendee said to applause from the crowd. “How do we get that money back?” Scheer responded by expressing concern about Trudeau using money from Canadian taxpayers towards “his own personal projects,” stating that the Clinton Foundation was just one of many examples of groups that received money from Trudeau’s government to promote “their own particular ideology.” READ MORE: Andrew Scheer says he didn’t challenge ‘pizzagate’ comment because he didn’t hear it Canada donated $20 million to the Clinton Health Access Initiative in 2017. The money is to go towards helping young women in Nigeria with family planning. On Friday, Scheer said that he didn’t correct the man on his Pizzagate reference because he didn’t hear it. “I heard the question was related to the government’s — Justin Trudeau’s — decision to give a grant to the Clinton Foundation. That is what I answered,” Scheer said Friday in Rosser, Man. “I didn’t hear anything about the other aspect.” More in link provided
