Tucker Carlson's Prank Call to Trudeau and Planned Canada Events Court Controversy
-
Tucker Carlson called Prime Minister Trudeau's office claiming he is "coming to liberate Canada". This prank call was likely intended to provoke a reaction.
-
Carlson has a history of criticizing Trudeau's pandemic policies and lockdowns, interviewing jailed Canadian pastors and suggesting the US should "liberate" Canada.
-
Carlson is scheduled to appear in Alberta alongside Premier Danielle Smith, Rex Murphy, and Conrad Black. His appearances aim to sell tickets and court controversy.
-
Some Canadians started a petition to bar Carlson from entering Canada, calling him a conspiracy theorist and Putin supporter. The petition has nearly 4,000 signatures.
-
It remains to be seen if Carlson's provocations will elicit any response from Trudeau or impact his planned speaking events in Canada this week.
