Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau continued to expose himself to angry questions as his town hall tour came to Regina, Saskatchewan on Thursday night.

One member of the crowd, which was mostly students, grilled Trudeau on his “open border” policy that the questioner suggested Trudeau’s was doing nothing to fix.

”We’ve got an open border allowing [anyone] to come in freely. What are we doing about … an open border?”  (RELATED: Trudeau Defends His Immigration Policies When Asked About Syrian Refugee Charged With Murder)

He said Trudeau was dangerously blasé about the issue. “You’re saying, ‘It’s okay. It won’t happen to us.’ It’s happening in France and it’s happening all over.”

Trudeau asked, “What’s happening?”

The man responded that other countries were tightening their borders because of security threats. Speaking of some Islamic extremists, he said, “They’ve openly stated that they want to kill us and you’re letting them in.”

Trudeau seemed frustrated by the question, saying to himself, “How am I going to go on this?” Instead of addressing the threat of Islamic extremism, the prime minister told the audience that immigration has defined Canada. “Canada is a country that was built by immigration … waves and waves of people came to this country.” (RELATED: Conservatives Tell Trudeau To Stop UN From Making Immigration Policy In The Country)

The Trudeau government faces regular criticism over its immigration and refugee policies, something the Conservative Official Opposition has called a “border crisis.” While the illegal immigrants cross the New York border into Canada and wait to see a refugee board, they receive accommodation, medical care and legal aid at taxpayer expense. The government is paying for many to stay in three-star hotels because migrants have already eliminated any vacancies in homeless shelters. The Opposition has tabulated the cost to the federal government at over $1 billion (CAD).

During an year-end interview, Trudeau blamed President Donald Trump for the escalating border crisis.

Trudeau was also asked Thursday night about his government’s failure to build an oil pipeline from Edmonton to Vancouver after it nationalized the Kinder Morgan Trans Mountain Pipeline last summer. Trudeau insisted he was committed to seeing the project through.

Another member of the audience brought up the Trudeau government’s carbon tax, asking, “Why would you charge a carbon tax and take money away from our pockets?” Trudeau immediately rephrased the inquiry, telling the audience “The question is, ‘why are we putting a price on pollution?’”

Trudeau insisted the carbon tax would prevent people from “polluting”  with carbon and this would help “fight climate change,” something he said was “real.”

Readers,

Instead of sucking up to the political and corporate powers that dominate America, The Daily Caller is fighting for you — our readers. We humbly ask you to consider joining us in this fight.

Now that millions of readers are rejecting the increasingly biased and even corrupt corporate media and joining us daily, there are powerful forces lined up to stop us: the old guard of the news media hopes to marginalize us; the big corporate ad agencies want to deprive us of revenue and put us out of business; senators threaten to have our reporters arrested for asking simple questions; the big tech platforms want to limit our ability to communicate with you; and the political party establishments feel threatened by our independence.

We don't complain -- we can't stand complainers -- but we do call it how we see it. We have a fight on our hands, and it's intense. We need your help to smash through the big tech, big media and big government blockade.

We're the insurgent outsiders for a reason: our deep-dive investigations hold the powerful to account. Our original videos undermine their narratives on a daily basis. Even our insistence on having fun infuriates them -- because we won’t bend the knee to political correctness.

One reason we stand apart is because we are not afraid to say we love America. We love her with every fiber of our being, and we think she's worth saving from today’s craziness.

Help us save her.

A second reason we stand out is the sheer number of honest responsible reporters we have helped train. We have trained so many solid reporters that they now hold prominent positions at publications across the political spectrum. Hear a rare reasonable voice at a place like CNN? There’s a good chance they were trained at Daily Caller. Same goes for the numerous Daily Caller alumni dominating the news coverage at outlets such as Fox News, Newsmax, Daily Wire and many others.

Simply put, America needs solid reporters fighting to tell the truth or we will never have honest elections or a fair system. We are working tirelessly to make that happen and we are making a difference.

Since 2010, The Daily Caller has grown immensely. We're in the halls of Congress. We're in the Oval Office. And we're in up to 20 million homes every single month. That's 20 million Americans like you who are impossible to ignore.

We can overcome the forces lined up against all of us. This is an important mission but we can’t do it unless you — the everyday Americans forgotten by the establishment — have our back.

Please consider becoming a Daily Caller Patriot today, and help us keep doing work that holds politicians, corporations and other leaders accountable. Help us thumb our noses at political correctness. Help us train a new generation of news reporters who will actually tell the truth. And help us remind Americans everywhere that there are millions of us who remain clear-eyed about our country's greatness.

In return for membership, Daily Caller Patriots will be able to read The Daily Caller without any of the ads that we have long used to support our mission. We know the ads drive you crazy. They drive us crazy too. But we need revenue to keep the fight going. If you join us, we will cut out the ads for you and put every Lincoln-headed cent we earn into amplifying our voice, training even more solid reporters, and giving you the ad-free experience and lightning fast website you deserve.

Patriots will also be eligible for Patriots Only content, newsletters, chats and live events with our reporters and editors. It's simple: welcome us into your lives, and we'll welcome you into ours.

We can save America together.

Become a Daily Caller Patriot today.
