HALIFAX, N.S. - Prime Minister Justin Trudeau offered up some rare words of praise Monday for Saskatchewan Premier Scott Moe — a frequent political thorn in his side and "no big fan of mine" — as one of Canada's strongest voices during that tumultuous time period when NAFTA was under threat. This is according to a Canadian Press story.
Trudeau was speaking about Donald Trump's tariff threats at an event put on by the Halifax Chamber of Commerce.
"[Moe's] voice with governors down south, his making the case for Canadian workers and Canadian trade in a way that complemented the arguments that we were making, did a better job of showing what Canadian unity was and (what) Canada's negotiating position could be to a United States that has a political system that is incredibly fractured and fractious," Trudeau said.
Trudeau was speaking about how Donald Trump's team is coming in with a much clearer set of ideas of what they want to do right away than after his first election win in 2016, and how the country needs to rally together and work past its political differences.
