Prime Minister Trudeau missed the opening of Parliament this week in order to jet off to New York to go to the U.N. It seems the Little Potato as he was dubbed by the Chinese or Little Pot for short, has a new favourite word to go with the other word he loves, “diversity.” Seems he loves to use the word “anxiety” too.
While in New York, Trudeau talked about how some politicians exploit peoples’ fears and anxieties for political gain. This anxiety was not limited to the fear of Syrian refugees who Trudeau and his trained seals cannot seem to get enough. It also applied to fears and anxieties about the economy. Trudeau spoke about the last federal election campaign that he said fueled Islamophobia and other phobias and pandered to “fear and insecurity.”
Many viewed Trudeau’s speech as an attack on Donald Trump without mentioning The Donald by name. It is probably what he was doing. But his remarks were aimed at Canada as well.
