Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau recently declared himself a proud feminist during a gala for Equal Voice, an organization dedicated to improving gender representation in Canada's politics. Trudeau expressed his disappointment over Vice President Harris' loss to President-elect Trump in the 2024 presidential election, citing it as a setback for women's progress.
In his remarks in Ottawa, Trudeau highlighted the challenges faced by women in achieving equality and emphasized his unwavering support for feminist causes. He stated, 'Everywhere, women's rights and women's progress are under attack, overtly and subtly. I want you to know that I am, and always will be, a proud feminist. You will always have an ally in me and in my government.'
Trudeau's comments come at a time when tensions between the U.S. and Canada are escalating, particularly concerning issues such as immigration and drug trafficking. Trudeau's unannounced visit to Mar-a-Lago, where he met with President Trump, followed threats of imposing tariffs on Canadian products by the U.S. administration.
During their meeting, Trump and Trudeau described their discussions as 'very productive.' However, sources revealed that Trudeau expressed concerns about the potential impact of tariffs on the Canadian economy. Trump reportedly suggested that Canada become the 51st state, prompting a nervous laughter among those present.
Trudeau's declaration of support for feminist causes and his diplomatic engagements with the U.S. underscore the complexities of international relations and the ongoing efforts to promote gender equality in politics.
