CNN: Trudeau takes thinly veiled swipe at Trump
Washington (CNN)Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau didn't mince words Thursday in discussing how he viewed his relationship with the United States in the age of Donald Trump, issuing sharp criticism of the President-elect, though he did not mention his name.
"Canadians expect their government to have a constructive working relationship with the incoming American administration, and that's exactly what we're going to do," Trudeau said during a town hall in Belleville, Ontario, in response to a question about how a Trump presidency will impact Canada's relationship with the United States.
But, he said, "there are things that we hold dear that the Americans haven't prioritized."
"And I'm never going to shy away from standing up for what I believe in -- whether it's proclaiming loudly to the world that I am a feminist, whether it's understanding that immigration is a source of strength for us and Muslim Canadians are an essential part of the success of our country today and into the future," he said as the audience applauded.

WNU Editor: The Prime Minister is currently crossing the country conducting town-halls .... and people are telling him that current Federal and Provincial policies are hurting them .... Trudeau gets emotional question about carbon tax's impact on families. So to divert attention why not take a swipe at the U.S. President-elect .... it is a sound bite that has an audience in Canada (the mass majority of Canadians do not support President-elect Trump). Unfortunately, it does not help Canadians who are hurting from high taxes on energy (the GF lives in Ontario and her electricity bill is $622/month), and it will certainly not help our relations with the incoming Trump administration who are already hinting at what they may do .... Canada could also face auto border tax, Trump spokesman suggests (CBC).
