Justin Trudeau and Yves Richard

radio station: Richard was not impressed, according to Rabble. He hung up on the PM. The grieving husband later told a radio station that he was annoyed it took the Prime Minister three days to call. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau got a preview of what he might be in for when he telephoned Yves Richard, the husband of one of the victims of the Ouagadougou attacks. Worse, he said he did not appreciate one bit what he called 'the canned patriotic/political blather' he got from Trudeau. Some have gone further and tried to argue that the Prime Minister feeble and inadequate show of solidarity with Canadian victims of political violence is a sign that the government is weak on terrorism. One clear fact emerges from this incident: Trudeau was a tone-deaf response. (www.immigrantscanada.com). As reported in the news.
