Canadian PM Justin Trudeau spoke to reporters in Windsor, Ontario, on Friday promising gun control held the key to “Canada moving forward.”
The Cable Public Affairs Channel (CPAC.CA) broadcast Trudeau’s comments in which he framed the discussion by asking, “Do we move Canada forward or do we take Canada back?”
Trudeau made clear his commitment to preserving gun control then criticized his election opponent, Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole, and intimated gun control would be endangered if O’Toole were elected.
For example, Trudeau described firearms classified as “assault weapons,” claiming those firearms “are designed to kill the largest number of people in the shortest amount of time.” He then suggested O’Toole wants to repeal Canada’s “assault weapons” ban and claimed such a repeal “makes no sense.”
