Justin throws stones, hits own party

“[J]ust a few weeks ago, the United States voted for a second time to not elect its first woman president,"
Justin Trudeau said on Wednesday during a speech to the Ottawa gala for Equal Voice.. "...women's rights and women's progress" are "under attack." What Trudeau failed to mention in his address, however, is that progressive Canada has done little better.
About two weeks earlier, on November 30, Trudeau met at Mar-a-Lago with president-elect Trump. It was then that Trump threatened Canada with stiff tariffs if it didn’t help to stem the flow of illegal immigrants and fentanyl into the U.S. Donald Trump, responding to Trudeau’s resistance to tariffs, retorted jokingly with a healthy dose of “Trumpian Toxic Masculinity,” suggesting that maybe Canada should become the U.S. 51st state if it is unable to afford the tariffs.
So, I guess it’s understandable that Trudeau would choose a feminist event for “an
organization that works to get more women elected to public office,” as the place for making his passive-aggressive accusation that the U.S. of regressing on women’s rights and advancement.
