Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said today that Canadians are “deeply disturbed and saddened” by the violent actions of Trump supporters in Washington D.C. and that democracy in the United States “must be upheld.”
“Violence will never succeed in overruling the will of the people. Democracy in the U.S. must be upheld — and it will be,” Trudeau said in a social media post this evening.
Earlier tonight, Trudeau told radio listeners tuning in to News 1130 in Vancouver that he was concerned by the violence erupting in Washington D.C. and was watching the “situation minute by minute as it unfolds.”
