OTTAWA -- As protests spurred by the police-involved death of George Floyd in Minneapolis continue across the United States, federal Canadian politicians delivered special take-note speeches in the House of Commons on Tuesday, calling out the ongoing inequalities in this country and imploring Prime Minister Justin Trudeau to go beyond “pretty words.”
Trudeau said that Canadians who are standing up in this moment and all those who have “felt the weight of oppression” deserve better, committing to working with the opposition parties on eradicating racism in Canada.However, Trudeau faced questions over the course of the day about the government’s existing policies and whether he was prepared to go further than he’s previously committed to when it comes to addressing the existing inequalities within Canadian society.
“We will work with the black community across this country as we have to respond to their priorities. There is a lot to do in Canada and we will do it in partnership with them,” he said.In the House of Commons, NDP Leader Jagmeet Singh challenged Trudeau to use his position of power to “go beyond pretty words, and pretty speeches, and do something.”
“Why do black people, why do Indigenous people need to keep on asking to be treated like a human? Why? You know, people are done with pretty speeches, particularly pretty speeches from people in power that could do something about it right now if they wanted to,” he said.Demonstrations have been taking place in Canadian cities including Ottawa, Toronto and Montreal, in solidarity with those decrying anti-black racism in the United States.
“No one should be attacked in their community or targeted on the bus because of the colour of their skin,” he said, adding that the fight against any efforts to infringe upon freedoms needs to continue.
More bumbling word from a confused federal government leadership.

Trudeau's long silence: PM pauses, avoids Trump's name in reaction to protestsPrime Minister Justin Trudeau did not speak for 20 seconds when asked to comment on U.S. President Donald Trump's handling of protesters in the United States, ultimately avoiding even saying Trump's name in his eventual response. thats the problem no world leaders are calling him out. The pause says a lot and maybe it was meant to. Canada needs America and can’t completely condem their president without massive tantrums coming back to affect trade, safety, and economy.

Armenian PM tests positive for virus as cases surgeArmenian Prime Minister Nikol Pashinyan, who turned 45 on Monday, said he and his family had tested positive for the new coronavirus and that he would be working from home. Meanwhile, most of us couldn't find Armenia on an unlabeled map. Nor say if Armenia had a PM or President. Really scraping the barrel on the fear mongering. I get this feeling that media has been told that Trudeau is NOT to be a story of any kind Hasn’t he heard? Covid is over here now that protesters can apparently do whatever they want 🤣🤣
