Justin Trudeau’s Message to U.N.: ‘We’re Canada and We’re Here to Help’
Two hallmarks of Mr. Trudeau’s government since it took power 10 months ago have been admitting Syrian refugees and promising action on climate change.
While he raised both of those issues in his speech on Tuesday, Mr. Trudeau also used the occasion to underscore another two of his favorite themes: optimism and internationalism.
.. Instead, he used much of his time to challenge other politicians for, in his view, exploiting anxiety.
“Fear has never created a single job or fed a single family,” Mr. Trudeau said. “People want their problems solved, not exploited.”
