Trudeau stands by ‘racism’ comments to heckler

October 25, 2017

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is standing by his comments to a heckler last week after telling her she was intolerant.Trudeau was speaking at a rally in Sabrevois, Que., when a woman started yelling that she wanted back the $146 million from Quebecers that he’s “given to illegal immigrants,” referring to the amount the Quebec government says asylum seekers have cost since a recent surge in irregular arrivals.

“That intolerance with regard to immigrants doesn’t belong in Canada. That intolerance with regard to diversity, you don’t belong in Canada,” Trudeau said in French Thursday night.

“Madame, your intolerance doesn’t belong here.”

The woman then asked Trudeau if he was tolerant toward “Quebecois de souche,” a reference to Quebecers who can trace their ancestry to the earliest French settlers.

In a video posted online, Trudeau can be heard telling the woman her racism isn’t welcome.

The woman who confronted Trudeau was later the subject of debate on social media over her ties to white supremacist groups. She is a member of the Facebook group for Storm Alliance’s Quebec wing. The group says it is “made up of Canadian citizens whose goal is to make our Country stronger, to make it a Country that takes care of its own communities.” It was part of a protest last year at the Lacolle, Que. border crossing, against a rise in asylum seekers.

Speaking in Ottawa Monday, Trudeau said he won’t “flinch from highlighting the politics of division.”

“It’s important that we have people who come at problems from very different perspectives because that actually ensures that we solve them right,” Trudeau said. (Source: CTV News)

Editorial Cartoon by Graeme MacKay, The Hamilton Spectator - Friday November 18, 2016 Will disillusioned U.S. voters really move to Canada? The election of Donald Trump has some Americans looking north, perhaps to make a new home in a country removed from Trump's style ofÊRepublicanism. Many said jokingly if Trump were elected, they would move to Canada. For some, it's no longer a joke. But moving northÊmight not be so easy. "You'll never be my president, because I'm moving to Canada!," shouted one protester, strongly opposed to a Trump presidency. The declaration was born in anger and frustration, but also reflects what many Americans have been soberly contemplating. On election night in the United States, an unusual occurrence took place with the computer systems of theÊCanada Immigration andÊCitizenshipdepartment. They crashed, more than once, and remained offline for hours. Canadian officials confirm that it was because of aÊspike in the amount of web traffic, most of it coming from the U.S. But while the interest is acute, immigration lawyers like Lee Cohen warn that getting into Canada isn't as easy as packing up and heading north. "Immigrating to Canada is a complex, paper-intensive, time-consuming process with a little bit of expense attached to it," Cohen said. Canada normally accepts only 6,000 American immigrants a year. Officials are expecting many times that number in the wake of the election. As for coming to Toronto, most Americans will be deterred when they find out the cost of housing in one of Canada's hottest real estate markets.
