CBC: Justin Trudeau says Canada expressed 'dissatisfaction' over Chinese minister's outburst
PM responds to Wang Yi's berating of Canadian journalist for asking about human rights in China.
Prime Minister Justin Trudeau says the Canadian government has expressed its dissatisfaction with China after its foreign minister scolded a Canadian reporter over a question on human rights.
"I can confirm that both (Foreign Affairs Minister Stéphane) Dion and department officials from Global Affairs Canada have expressed our dissatisfaction to both the Chinese foreign minister and the ambassador of China to Canada — our dissatisfaction with the way our journalists were treated," Trudeau said in Winnipeg on Friday, after he gave a speech to the Federation of Canadian Municipalities.

WNU Editor: The Chinese are not impressed .... After Canada complaint, China says has nothing more to add (Reuters). What's my take .... as I had explained in this post .... China's Foreign Minister Demanded A Meeting With Canadian Prime Minister Trudeau (And He Got It!!!!) (June 3, 2016) .... the Chinese tested Justin Trudeau and they found him "wanting" .... and it is only now that the Prime Minister's office has figured that out, and they are responding. But it is too late.

Funny how Trudeau said you couldn't even be Pro-Life and run as a liberal candidate in the last federal election. Hmmm.... And he is lecturing the Chinese about human rights?? This little boy/leader needs to be careful because it is a big and scary world and your family name only goes so far!!!!!!
Sounds like Trudeau needs to go elbow someone in the chest.
Trudeau really is a Bore.
