OTTAWA — Former finance minister Chrystia Freeland endured more than a dozen disruptions to her Liberal leadership launch speech on Sunday as protesters shouted her down and banged on a door at the Toronto venue.

The protesters, who were apparently anti-Israel activists, shouted that Freeland was a “fascist” and a “genocide supporter” while she tried to deliver a speech.
