Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych and Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau: The Liberal leader drew criticism from top Conservative cabinet ministers and the Ukrainian ambassador on Monday after his pre-taped appearance on Radio Canada's "Tout le Monde en Parle" a show known for its humour and cheeky irreverence was broadcast over the weekend, according to Huffington Post. "It's very worrisome,'' Trudeau said after telling the panel that he now considers Ukrainian President Viktor Yanukovych to be illegitimate. "Especially since Russia lost in hockey, they will be in a bad mood. We are afraid of a Russian intervention in Ukraine.'' Justin Trudeau has apologized for an off-hand remark he made on a popular Quebec TV show that some interpreted as making light of the bloody conflict in Ukraine. At one point, Trudeau linked the unrest in Ukraine to Russia's Olympic hockey disappointment, joking that Russians may be fuming after failing to medal. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
