Stephane Dion is heckled at a labour rally

From CTV News, video of Stephane Dion addressing a labour rally:

Liberal Leader Stephane Dion has been heckled off the stage at a labour protest rally in Ottawa.

Dion was taunted by several thousand unionized workers as he spoke on Parliament Hill, and was eventually drowned out by chanting.

There were loud boos from the crowd as he left the gathering, with many people complaining about the Liberal party's stand against anti-scab legislation.

Jake Lombardo of Hamilton, Ont., accused Dion of double-speak as he taunted the Liberal leader.

Lombardo blamed the Liberals for launching policies that he says are costing Canadians jobs.

Here is the video:

I especially enjoy the frantic activity taking place behind Stephane Dion's back once it became apparent the crowd was so loud that it was bound to be picked up by the cameras recording the appearance. And correct me if I'm wrong, but is that NDP MP David Christopherson nodding his head in agreement with the hecklers?
