Prime Minister Justin Trudeau is calling on people of all political stripes to turn the page on hateful ideology by condemning intolerance following the killing of 50 Muslims in New Zealand.
A visibly angry Trudeau denounced the "small, toxic segments" of society that peddle the belief diversity is a weakness, spewing hatred and inciting violence.
Hate groups "are alive in Canada," Trudeau told the House of Commons on Monday as party leaders expressed solidarity with the victims in Christchurch and their families. Trudeau expressed sorrow at the many attacks in recent years that have taken the lives of defenceless people at temples, churches, synagogues, concerts, schools and malls.
Public Safety Minister Ralph Goodale suggested the deadly mass shooting in New Zealand will spur parliamentarians to take a careful look at Canada's gun laws. The massacre has sparked a global sense of concern that will prompt Canadian politicians to make some timely decisions, Goodale said Monday after appearing before a Senate committee.
