Trudeau says Blanchet is playing ‘dangerous games around intolerance and hate’ following comments about transport minister

Prime Minister Justin Trudeau said Friday that Bloc Québécois Leader Yves-François Blanchet is playing “dangerous games around intolerance and hate,” following comments he made questioning the role of Canada’s new transport minister as former head of the Canadian Arab Federation. “I was absolutely floored to see a federal party leader use insinuations and carefully coded questions, particularly this week when we just lived through last week,” Trudeau stated.
