Outside a TV studio in a Vancouver, British Columbia, suburb where Prime Minister Justin Trudeau of Canada was recording an interview days before the country's election, a man shouted insults, mostly obscene, about Mr Trudeau and his family while blasting Twisted Sister's "We're Not Gonna Take It" from a stereo on a cart.
Heckling is something Mr Trudeau has always faced, but this time the attacks have new bite.
After six years in office, a prime minister who promised "sunny ways" and presented himself as a new face is now the political establishment, with a record of accomplishment and missteps for opponents to criticise.
Even if the Liberal Party clings to its hold on Parliament, as observers expect, this bruising election campaign has done him no favours.
Mr Ben Chin, the Prime Minister's senior adviser, said that no politician could have sustained Mr Trudeau's initial popularity.
"If you're in power for six years or five years, you're going to have more baggage," Mr Chin said. "You have to make tough decisions that not everybody's going to agree with."
For much of his time in office, opposition party leaders have accused Mr Trudeau of putting his personal and political interests before the nation's good - of which the snap election being held on Monday (Sept 20) is the most recent example.
They also have had rich material to attack him on over controversies involving a contract for a charity close to his family, and a finding that he broke ethics laws by pressing a minister to help a large Quebec company avoid criminal sanctions.
In addition, for every accomplishment Mr Trudeau cites, his opponents can point to unfulfilled pledges.
Anti-vax protesters have thronged his events, some with signs promoting the far-right People's Party of Canada, prompting his security detail to increase precautions.
One rally in Ontario where protesters significantly outnumbered the police was shut down over safety concerns, and at another in the same province, the Prime Minister was pelted with gravel as he boarded his campaign bus.
A local official of the People's Party later faced charges in that episode of assault with a weapon.
Mr Trudeau has many achievements since 2015 to point to. His government has introduced carbon pricing and other climate measures, legalised cannabis, increased spending for Indigenous issues and made 1,500 models of military-style rifles illegal.
A new plan will provide day care for 10 Canadian dollars a day per child.
Although his popularity has diminished, Mr Trudeau's star power remains. When he dropped by the outdoor terrace of a cafe in Port Coquitlam, an eastern suburb of Vancouver, for elbow bumps, quick chats and selfies with voters, a crowd soon swelled.
