Justin Trudeau, 2010: "Canada isn't doing well right now because it's Albertans who control our community and socio-democratic agenda. It doesn't work." #cdnpoli
When asked whether he thought Canada was "better served when there are more Quebecers in charge than Albertans," Trudeau replied, "I'm a Liberal, so of course I think so, yes. Certainly when we look at the great prime ministers of the 20th century, those that really stood ..."
"the test of time, they were MPs from Quebec. There was Trudeau, there was Mulroney, there was Chrétien, there was Paul Martin. We have a role. This country, Canada, it belongs to us."
Trudeau's Liberal leadership campaign said his 2010 comments were taken out of context: "The Conservatives are using out-of-context statements made years ago in a long interview ... and are resorting to smear campaigns" the statement said.
"Out of context?" In what context are such statements by a future Prime Minister of Canada not concerning?
