Trudeau's true colors?

WSe're only a month out of learning that Canada's young prime minister asked his indigenous attorney general to drop fraud and bribery charges against a company he likes. She quit under pressure instead.

Justin Trudeau has apologized for a sarcastic response to indigenous activists protesting against the contamination of drinking water, admitting on Thursday that he handled the situation poorly.

“From time to time I’m in situations where people are expressing concerns … I always try to be respectful [but] I didn’t do that last night. I lacked respect towards them and I apologize for that,” the Canadian prime minister told reporters.

The incident comes amid more dismal polling for Trudeau, which show support for him continues to fall: Trudeau’s approval levels are now below those of the US president, Donald Trump, according to polling data from Ipsos Reid.

Oh my.

...but hey, do what you want...you will anyway.
