Canada History and Justin Trudeau

Justin Trudeau: The Liberal leader drew a parallel Monday between the current government rhetoric about Muslims and other "dark episodes" in Canada history: the internment of Ukrainian, Japanese and Italian Canadians during the two world wars, the turning away of boatloads of Jewish and Punjabi refugees and the imposition of residential schools for aboriginal children. , according to Hamilton Spectator. "I believe they have done it deliberately and I believe what they have done is deeply wrong," Trudeau said in the text of a speech delivered in Toronto to the McGill Institute for the Study of Canada. Justin Trudeau is accusing the Harper government of deliberately stoking fear and prejudice against Muslim Canadians employing the same kind of rhetoric that led to some of Canada most shameful displays of racism in the past. Since two Canadian soldiers were murdered by men with radical Islamist sympathies last October, Trudeau said the government has been blurring the line between the genuine threat terrorism posed to national security and "simple prejudice."
