That was an excellent, intelligent, and thoughtful response from Trudeau there. He didn't take the bait from that reporter, who was clearly fishing for some kind of viral sound bite that he could feed to the American networks in order to escalate tensions. I wouldn't be surprised if that was a Fox News reporter.
And I love that he made it crystal clear that the American people are our brothers/sisters/neighbours, and that our collective anger is directed solely at the U.S. government.
I haven't been a big fan of Trudeau over the last several years, but I gotta hand it to him. The guy has been outstanding during these last few weeks and has done a great job steering us through the insanity.
