Just to move it back to Trudeau in a followup interview yesterday

http://www.cbc.ca/news/politics/stor...vereignty.html

Quote:
In an interview with Evan Solomon, host of CBC's Power & Politics, Trudeau said he didn't make a mistake by raising the issue of an independent Quebec.
"I did not because, first of all, the separatist option is not the bogeyman it used to be. You ask me what the bogeyman is? It’s the one sitting in our prime minister’s chair right now," Trudeau said Tuesday.
"It’s not going to happen. Modern Quebec is moving in ways where Quebecers are much more anchored toward the world, they’re confident in their abilities, in our abilities, to compete on the world stage. I don’t see it as the big threat, the big scary threat that it used to be."
Trudeau said he used provocative language in an attempt to alert people about Conservative policies to which he's opposed.
Speaking just after question period Tuesday, Trudeau said he loves Canada, and lives and breathes it. He said Canada needs Quebec to balance out Harper's vision.
"I’m not going to stand here and somehow defend that I actually do love Canada because we know that I do love Canada."
Interim Liberal Leader Bob Rae says Trudeau is a great Canadian and a strong believer in a united Canada.
Again to the highllighted bits, he seems to ignore that they're not policies of the government in place.

At some point is Rae going to have to step in and shut Trudeau down?

Clearly Trudeau's kid and the heir apparent is not being misquoted.
