Prime Minister Justin Trudeau commented on Tuesday about the resignation of the CEO and board of the Trudeau Foundation, criticizing what he called "toxicity" and "political polarization" in the country, but said he was certain the organization would be able to continue its work in the years to come. A statement said the resignations had come after the "political climate" surrounding a donation the organization had received in 2016 put "a great deal of pressure" on its management and volunteer board of directors. A recent media report detailed a $200,000 donation with alleged ties to Beijing.
