I'm sort of happy this quote was dug up, because this presents a good opportunity to see how he responds to it and explains himself. I'm sure that every person in this thread will reserve judgement until they have listened to him with an open mind and carefully considered his explanation.
Tranny: I'm not sure why you're bringing up the NEP. He has publicly denounced the program and described it as a poorly designed plan to steal the wealth from one region to benefit every other region in the country.
He's no genius, but he is far from an idiot. The comments he made were foolish and divisive though.

As far as I know the only explanation that he's given for his comments is that he is being quoted out of context.

The comments were replayed on Sun TV on Thursday, one day after Mr. McGuinty’s resignation as the Liberal critic for natural resources, and prompted Mr. Trudeau to state they were taken “out of context.”

I'm not impressed.
This quote in the article really made me laugh... especially when you take into consideration Justin Trudeau's comments about Albertans...

“Justin knows that Calgary, Alberta, and all of Western Canada are at the very heart of Canada’s future,” the Trudeau campaign said in a statement. “We need to get beyond the divisive politics of the Conservatives and include all Canadians.”
