And Justin Trudeau thought Stephen Harper was divisive

During the lengthy election campaign, Justin Trudeau kept referring to then-PM Stephen Harper as being “divisive.” According to Lil PET, he and the Liberals would unite Canadians rather than divide them. The Boy Blunder is not off to a good start. The divisiveness the Liberals referred to was in relation to, what else, Muslims. Specifically, the Harper government’s position that no one should take the oath of Canadian citizenship with their face covered and the decision that, in bringing Syrian refugees to Canada, preference should be given to Christians and Muslim minorities that face a greater risk of persecution. But Trudeau has done more to divide Canadian against Canadian in the two weeks he has been prime minister than Harper could ever do if he governed for another 10 years.
