U.S. President Donald Trump refused to condemn white supremacy during his debate against former U.S. vice-president Joe Biden on Tuesday.
Now, Canada’s political leaders are all speaking out against the issue of white supremacy — one that many acknowledged is present in Canada too.
“The Prime Minister has condemned and will continue to condemn right-wing extremism, white supremacy and racism in all its forms,” read a statement from Prime Minister Justin Trudeau’s office, sent to CTVNews.ca Wednesday.
“In Canada, we’re not immune to extremism that not only divides our communities, but threatens the safety of Canadians.”
Conservative Leader Erin O’Toole echoed the clear condemnation of white supremacy.
“I categorically condemn white supremacy and all forms of hate. In the military, I served all Canadians. Now as Leader, I continue to serve all Canadians,” he said in a statement sent to CTVNews.ca.
“Hatred, including white supremacy, has no place in Canada.”
The comments come in sharp contrast to the ones Trump made during Tuesday’s debate.
During the debate, Trump was asked whether he condemns white supremacist groups and the violence they participated in during summer protests. He refused to do so, opting instead to brand it solely a “left-wing” problem and even telling one far-right hate group to “stand back and stand by.”
Its open season on them white supremacists… as BLACK lives matter burn and destroy American cities and they even done so in London UK and Toronto Canada, yup its the fault of them evil white supremacists….
