Town Hall-Style: Canadian Society and Evening

town hall-style: There is much more we need to do as citizens to create neighbourhoods, a society, a political debate that is more respectful, less anchored in ignorance and insecurity and intolerance, he told the crowd gathered in a high school gymnasium, according to CTV. We all have our role to play. The evening began with a question on how to better integrate immigrants into Canadian society and ended with Trudeau delivering an impassioned speech on the need to fight racism. The evening was briefly interrupted by a heckler who unfurled an upside-down Canadian flag with a swastika scrawled across it. The evening event was the latest in a series of town hall-style public meetings being held across the country. The man yelled incoherent remarks at Trudeau as he was escorted from the room.
