Justin Trudeau talked about the far-right, a possible snap election and why Canada is 'the best country in the world' during an appearance on 'The Late Show with Stephen Colbert.'
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau , the Canadian political leader got laughs from the audience as he tried to set Canada apart from the U.S. and boast about what makes the northern nation successful on the world stage.
In response, Trudeau said Canada is not exempt from extremist rhetoric or xenophobia. He did not cite any specific examples.“We’re not some magical place of unicorns and rainbows all the time,” he said. “The things that we’ve managed to do, we’ve had to work really, really hard at.” “People are frustrated and the idea that maybe they want an election now is something that my opponents are trying to bank on because people are taking a lot out on me, for understandable reasons,” he said. “I’ve been here, and I’ve been steering us through all these things and people are sometimes looking at change.”
“It’s a range of people from every possible background who come together and — a little different from the melting pot in the United States where everyone gets to be American — we try to celebrate differences, and people keep their cultures and keep their languages.”The prime minister said there are many “small issues that matter” between both countries, but claimed the U.S. pays too much in tariffs on softwood lumber.Colbert half-joked that many Americans also cross the U.S.
